Vic: Information van planned to help catch firebugs

Victorian police will set up an information van in a bid to find arsonists .. who started
a bushfire that led to the death of a man in Gippsland .. and has burnt out thousands
of hectares.

It'll be near where the Coopers Creek fire's thought to have begun last Thursday.

They say they're trying to identify people who travelled along the Walhalla-Tyers Road
.. between 10.30 and 11.30 that morning.

They've ruled out motorbike riders seen in the area as suspects.





Anyone with information about the fires should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000
or the Warragul CIU on 5622 7111.
