A medical centre in Melbourne's north-west was extensively damaged by fire in a suspected arson attack early today. Police say offenders smashed a front window of the Shuter Street clinic in Moonee Ponds before using an accelerant and setting it alight just after 2am. About an hour earlier, two cars were set alight outside a Brighton home on Manor Street in what police describe as a suspected targeted attack. Police will investigate whether the two incidents are linked. An arson chemist will attend both scenes today, and anyone with information or dashcam footage is asked to contact CrimeStoppers.
Receivers are selling six unfinished luxury homes at 8-12 Were Street, Brighton, for about $9 million. The asking price is only slightly more than a finished five-bedroom home on the same street sold for $8.5 million in March. Stonebridge is marketing the site, where foundations, slabs, pool structures and framing are complete. Future Property Group's David Cummins warned that taking over another developer's project could bring hidden defects, weather damage or missing paperwork. Expressions of interest close on November 19.
Brighton midfielder Diego Gomez scored a spectacular long-range goal in the seventh minute of his side's 5-0 Premier League win over Crystal Palace. Gomez struck a 50-metre shot over goalkeeper Walter Benitez, and the strike was compared with a similar goal by David Beckham in 1996. Brighton went on to win the match at the Amex Stadium on Sunday. The victory lifts Brighton to third on the table, behind Manchester City and Arsenal.
