Investigation continues into north and eastern suburb explosions
Detectives from the Arson and Explosives Squad continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding a series of explosions in the north and eastern suburbs earlier this month.
It is alleged eight devices were detonated on 4 July between 7 and 9.45pm in suburbs including Northcote, Ivanhoe, Heidelberg Heights, Kew and Kew East.
No injuries were reported to police; however, a vehicle was significantly damaged, and a number of rubbish bins and letterboxes were destroyed by the blasts.
A 30-year-old Bellfield man and a 27-year-old Bundoora man were arrested and charged by investigators from the Arson and Explosives Squad on Thursday 15 July.
