Tobacco found after fire at Pennington business premises

Police and fire crews were called to the corner of Addison Road and Fortisgreen Avenue about 5.15am on Thursday 20 March by reports of a building fire.

Fire crews worked quickly to extinguish the fire and prevented it spreading to neighbouring premises.

While the investigation into the fire is in its early stages, it is not believed to be suspicious.  However, when detectives and fire cause investigators entered and examined the premises this morning, they discovered a small quantity of illicit cigarettes and tobacco products inside.

Western District CIB and Operation Eclipse detectives are investigating.
