Pair arrested after alleged arson spree in Melbourne's north

Two men have been arrested over an alleged arson spree in Melbourne.

The arrest of the men, aged 27 and 28, in Burgundy Street, Heidelberg this afternoon follows a series of suspicious fires that were lit in Greensborough in the city’s north.

In the first blaze, wheelie bins and wooden pellets were set alight at a sports club, shortly before seven cars and the back of a semi-trailer were destroyed by a fire in a carpark behind a KFC.

A garbage bin and car were also torched at Greensborough College as well as a scoreboard at a local football club.
