Police hunt suspected arsonists after bungled attack on Sydney skin and beauty clinic
Police are on the hunt for two men who botched firebombing a Sydney beauty salon last month, releasing CCTV vision showing one running with flames billowing from his pants. The bungled arson took place at Sheryne Skin on Burwood Road, Burwood about 5am on June 13 when two men gained entry and poured accelerant on the floor. In the vision released by police, the alleged arsonists' attack backfired, leaving one of the men running down a nearby street on fire frantically trying to put out the flames. Just seconds before, he could be seen wearing an orange high-vis hoodie lighting the accelerant before he almost became engulfed in the flames. The mishap has left police with a key clue to locate one of the two alleged perpetrators, with his face visible as a result of his hood falling while running from the chaotic scene. In another clip from the footage, the second man wearing black can be seen to slip on the accelerant he poured inside the shop, and fall on his back. "Not only are they a danger to the community, they are a danger to themselves," Burwood Police Area Command Acting Superintendent Luke Scott said. "It's quite clear from when you watch the CCTV you are not watching professionals, we are dealing with amateurs. "We can laugh about this because it looks so amateurish but we need to understand there was a residential complex above this premises … we have seen in the past these things go terribly, terribly wrong. The skin and beauty clinic has more than 60,000 followers on Instagram and is owned by nurse Sheryne El-Kak, who also has a significant following online. The shop sustained minor damage, NSW Police said, and no injuries were reported. NSW Police said after the attack the shop was targeted twice more on July 2 and July 5 when they responded to reports of a group of men attempting to get inside the premises. The men left before police arrived, and officers are appealing for any information from the public to identify the two men in the footage.
