A 40-year-old alleged arsonist has been extradited from New South Wales to Queensland to face charges related to a suspicious fire that destroyed several vehicles in Sherwood last weekend.
The fire occurred just after midday on Sunday, October 27, at an address on Sherwood Road. Police were called to the scene and determined the fire to be suspicious, launching an investigation.
Acacia Ridge detectives worked with the New South Wales Police Force, which resulted in the arrest of the 40-year-old man in Hornsby on October 30. The man appeared in Hornsby Local Court on October 31 and was remanded into custody for extradition back to Queensland.
The man is now in custody in Queensland and will appear before the courts to face the arson charges.
