There’s been a dramatic and dangerous escalation in the spate of arson attacks on Adelaide businesses.
This time a business at Torrensville has been targeted by a firebombing gang while it was open.

“There’s just people screaming, running everywhere, next minute the fierys and everyone’s here,” one witness said.
Security cameras captured the alleged attackers arriving in a black Lexus.
Nearby workers chased after them as they fled down Henley Beach Road, smashing into another innocent motorist as they made their escape.
Police say three men of Asian appearance entered the store and started a fire, possibly using a Molotov cocktail.
The attack happened at about 11.30am during the busy Saturday rush, with several people inside.
Part of Henley Beach Road was shut down as police swarmed the area and paramedics treated a 26-year-old worker for burns to his legs and arms.
He was loaded into an ambulance and taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
