Arsonists crash ute into Perth cafe

A four-wheel drive ute was reversed into a Perth cafe before three hooded arsonists set the business ablaze.

Police are hunting for those who set fire to the Wangara cafe about 3.50am on Thursday morning.

CCTV from the premises show the vehicle smashing through the front windows before two people disguised in hooded jumpers enter and splash a liquid throughout. The fire is then lit from outside and trails into the building, which catches fire rapidly.

Firefighters were called and the blaze spread to a neighbouring business. Damage is estimated at $1 million.
