Bikie arson attack lead

Anti-bikie police are searching for two men who they believe are connected to a ram-raid arson attack on the Rebels clubhouse in Dandenong South.
The Echo Task Force detectives released images of the men on Tuesday 13 December, captured at a Mt Eliza burglary.
Thieves entered a Brighton Crescent home about 5.10am on 12 October and stole a Repsol Honda motorcycle and car keys for two Audis.
They returned on 16 October and stole a black Audi Q7 and a white 2013 Audi Q3 wagon.
CCTV footage from the night of the clubhouse fire, 21 October, showed four vehicles at the England Street building just minutes before it was set alight about 4am.
Investigators believe the Q7 and Repsol motorcycle were alongside a white Hyundai Veloster and a sports motorcycle.
A driver reversed the Q7 through the clubhouse roller doors and started the fire that destroyed the building, police said.
The Repsol motorcycle was found abandoned in Richmond on 10 November and the Audi Q3 was recovered in Cranbourne North on 11 November.
The Hyundai Veloster and sports motorcycle still haven’t been found.
As well as images of two men, detectives also released images of vehicles similar to those involved in the hope that someone may have seen them at the time of the fire.
Police are appealing for public help and are keen to speak to anyone who saw any suspicious activity around the time of the fire.
Police are aware of escalating tensions between the Rebels and Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMCGs) and are actively monitoring them.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
