Detective Sergeant Ben Duffey has reissued an appeal for information following another suspicious fire in Primrose Sands on Saturday night.

Tasmania Fire Service and police and detectives were called to an address on Erica Street, Primrose Sands on Saturday night around 9pm and found the premises fully engulfed.

This is the 6^th suspicious fire in the area.

“Someone must know something,” said Detective Ben Sgt Duffey.

“Any information can be useful, did you see anyone walking in the area around that time? Or did you hear an unfamiliar car sound?

Detectives are following up all sources of information provided through Crime Stoppers and are keen to narrow the field.

Once again door knocks will be conducted and police would encourage residents of the area to recall any information they can about the events of Saturday night.

“The community of Primrose Sands are obviously very concerned and we would like to assure them that we are following every possible lead, to prevent these incidents from occurring,” said Detective Sgt Ben Duffey.

The house on Erica Street was unoccupied at the time and the fire appears to have started in similar circumstances to the previous fires in the community.

Police are once again encouraging residents and shack owners to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity or people in the area.

“We are encouraging anyone with information, something they’ve seen or heard; or something that just didn’t seem right, to contact us on 6173 2318 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000,” said Detective Sgt Ben Duffey.
