POLICE are searching for a man who allegedly set two bollards on fire at an oval in Keysborough earlier this month.
It’s believed a red Holden Jackaroo was driven onto the oval at Chandler Road about 11.20am on Tuesday 11 August, after which a man was seen getting out of the car and then setting fire to two bollards.
The bollards, next to the entrance to the oval, were removed from the ground and then set alight, which led to extensive damage.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
