Two men arrested after 20 fires lit

TWO men have been arrested after 20 suspicious fires were started in just a 30-minute period last night.

The small shrub and grass fires were started between 9pm and 9.30pm in Melbourne's outer south-eastern suburbs.

Police later pulled over a car and arrested a 20-year-old from Narre Warren and 16-year-old from Berwick.

They were interviewed and released pending further inquiries.

Casey Crime Investigation Unit detectives will return to the scene of the fires today with fire investigators to examine the crime scenes further.

The fire locations included Hessel Rd in Narre Warren North, Wintersun Rd in Berwick, King Rd in Harkaway, Hotham St in Cranbourne and Rowallan Ave in Harkaway.

There were no injuries or property damage reported to police.

Police pulled over the car, with both men inside, on Rowallan Ave.

"A crime scene was established overnight and local detectives and fire investigators will attend the scenes again today," Victoria Police spokeswoman Kelly Yates said.

Anyone with information about the fires or who may have witnessed anything suspicious is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au
