Arson Squad Probes Suspicious Blaze at Perth Workshop That Destroyed More Than a Dozen Cars

Investigators are examining a cut fence as evidence of forced entry.

Overview

  • Fire broke out about 5:45am at Speedline Auto Repair in Welshpool, with five trucks dispatched to contain the blaze.
  • Crews entered through the front gate and directed water between parked vehicles and the building, limiting structural damage.
  • More than a dozen customer cars were destroyed, and a refrigerated truck on the site was also lost.
  • The scene remains preserved for forensic work, leaving owners unable to access vehicles as insurance assessments await clarification.
  • Reports differ on the exact vehicle count, and 9News says the business owners were uninsured, a claim not independently confirmed.
