Ok so the tobacco shop that got fire bombed earlier this week got attacked again very early this morning having an old ute driven into it.
So we’ve got
- two gelato shops fire bombed in Williamstown.
- wolf cafe firebombed this week in Millers Junction Altona.
- tobacco shop firebombed/attacked two nights in a row in pier St Altona.
I’m about ready to put up the Bat signal at this point.
wolf cafe firebombed this week in Millers Junction Altona.
I remember that cafe was a Covid hot spot, back when contact tracing was a thing.
“Company documents show the Wolf Cafe & Eatery is owned by a company directed by Dib Barakat, who was jailed in November 2019 with his brother over a plot to swap real cigarettes with fakes made from potato and molasses, to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes”
"We don’t know what is going on,” Barakat, 41, who has completed his prison term, told The Age on Thursday. “We have no problems with no one. We do our business. We do our coffee shops and that’s what we do.”
Uh huh. If you say so Barakat.
its trash taking out trash right? So long as no ones getting caught in the crossfire. Which they are smart enough not to do since they know thats gonna trigger a presser from the premier and vicpol announcing a new taskforce.
Aren’t they burning the places that refuse to peddle their dodgy cigarettes though? Which means every one of these fires has hurt a business that wants nothing to do with them.
I dont know enough about the story TBH, I thought it was gang on gang so if so I take back my cavalier attitude towards it.
There’s been heaps more than that. Some kind of turf war between illegal tobacco crooks. If it wasn’t for the risk to public, I really wouldn’t care if they burned each other out of existence.
