Second Sydney Childcare Centre Goes up in Flames
SYDNEY'S NORTHWEST, NEW SOUTH WALES, JUL 13 – Two suspected arson attacks at Play to Learn centres caused minor damage and no injuries, with police investigating possible links between the incidents, officials said.
- Emergency responders attended a fire at a childcare facility in Castle Hill early Monday, which resulted in only minor damage.
- This event took place only a few days following another suspicious blaze at one of the same childcare provider’s facilities located in Turramurra the previous Friday, leading authorities to investigate a potential connection between the two fires.
- Masked men forced entry at the Castle Hill centre, poured petrol in the foyer, and ignited it, but sprinklers helped contain the blaze and no injuries were reported.
- Play to Learn has operated nearly two decades on the Central Coast and recently expanded with new centres at Turramurra and Castle Hill, whose staff say they see no internal reasons for the attacks.
- Police established crime scenes at both sites and allocated resources to the arson investigation, with Detective Superintendent Naomi Moore calling the attacks "very concerning" and indicating possible patrols at related locations.
