Australia: Police appeal for witnesses to Nimbin fire Darren Coyne Echo.net.au Friday 22 Aug 2014 Inspector Lindsay said police were still waiting for the results of forensic testing from the fire site, and were reviewing closed circuit television footage from the morning of the fire. ‘If people have information they should contact Crimestoppers on 1800333000 or local police. Police interviewed a 27-year-old on the morning of the fire but he was released without charge, and was not deemed a suspect. While the fire was suspected to have started behind the cafe, witnesses said it quickly jumped across the lane and began to consume the museum, and two adjoining shops-fronts, Tribal Magic and the smoking paraphernalia shop Bringabong. Det Insp Lindsay said the fire was being treated as suspicious and police had spoken to a number of witnesses. But he said police were keen to speak with anyone with information about the ‘number of people’ in the main street. The fire is believed to have started between 3am and 3.30am. Echonetdaily reported shortly after the fire that threats had been made in the previous week by ‘out-of-towners’ who had allegedly scored a bad drug deal. Inspector Lindsay said police would be interested to speak with anyone with further information about the rumour. Police have issued an appeal for witnesses who may have seen 'a number' of people in the main street of Nimbin just before the fire broke out which gutted buildings last week.
