Brisbane house destroyed in arson attack

Police are asking for help to catch a person who deliberately started a fire at a Queensland home where two women and three children were sleeping.

The people in the house in Bellemere, north of Brisbane, were awoken by a smoke alarm the early hours of November 24, and found a fire in the main living room.

No one was injured, but police say the house was completely destroyed.

Investigators have found the fire was deliberately lit, and police have called for anyone with information to come forward.
