Birmingham Gardens Home Fire Bombed

BY IAN CROUCH

A house at Birmingham Gardens has been damaged in an early morning fire bomb attack.

Neighbours of the single storey home on Wilkinson Avenue alerted emergency services just after 3.00am on Monday but managed to douse the flames before fire crews arrived.

It's believed a molotov cocktail was thrown through the window of a front bedroom.

Police say the house is being renovated and was unoccupied, however an elderly woman lives in a granny flat behind the premises - she was not injured.

A crime scene has been established and forensic officers will continue inquiries this morning.
