Detectives have released CCTV of a vehicle as investigations continue into three suspicious fires on the Central Coast earlier this year.
At about 4am on Friday, March 7, emergency services were called to Penrose Cres, Erina, after reports of a building fire at a Pilates studio.
Fire and Rescue NSW attended and extinguished the blaze; however, the building sustained extensive damage.
A short time later, emergency services were called to Old Maitland Rd, Mardi, following reports of a vehicle fire.
Firefighters extinguished the fire, however, the vehicle – believed to be a silver Hummer H3 – was destroyed.
Crime scenes were established at both locations by officers attached to Brisbane Water Police District, who commenced inquiries into the suspicious fires under Strike Force Lottah.
As part of ongoing inquiries, detectives have released CCTV of a vehicle seen near Penrose Cres, Erina, around the time of the building fire.
Investigations are also continuing into a fire at a hair salon on The Entrance Rd, The Entrance, at about 2.20am on Wednesday, February 26.
Four people have since been charged and remain before the courts.
Police believe the three incidents could be linked.
Anyone with information about the driver of the vehicle is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
