Police believe the offenders ignited a fire in the cabin of a semi-trailer, causing two trucks parked nearby to catch fire, destroying one of the trucks.
The second fire occurred on March 3 at about 1.20am, after several offenders again forced entry into the business.
Detectives believe an offender cut the lock of the gate, before using an accelerant to set a Scania prime mover alight.
This caused two other trucks nearby to catch fire.
CCTV captured the group fleeing the scene in a black Ford sedan.
Police said the fire caused at least $1 million in damage to the business.
The two fires are being treated as suspicious.
