A fire at an Australian tobacco shop, possibly tied to organized crime, led to an arrest and warnings about rising violence in the illicit tobacco trade.
A suspicious fire at a tobacco shop in Glenroy, Australia, on March 2, 2026, is under investigation by Victoria Police, who believe it may be linked to organized crime and the illicit tobacco trade.
Two men, one reportedly armed, allegedly poured fuel and set the shop ablaze before fleeing in a white Mercedes-Benz sedan, which was later found burned.
Police are examining connections to prior incidents, including a car fire and gunfire in the area, and have arrested a 30-year-old man, seizing five firearms, including an AK47.
Authorities warn that violent tactics are escalating in the fight for control over the illegal tobacco market, which is fueled by high legal prices due to excise increases.
They continue to seek public tips and footage through Crime Stoppers.
