A Melbourne gym has been set on fire for the second time in 24 hours, months after it faced a police raid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rare Breed gym was initially set ablaze on Tuesday but was hit by another arson attack in the early hours of Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
Fire Rescue Victoria responded to emergency calls of a building fire in South Melbourne at 3.13am.<\/p>\n
The gym, which is owned by heavyweight boxer Ray Dimachki, was visited by fire crews just a day earlier, when the building was rammed by a vehicle and then set on fire in the night.<\/p>\n
Fire Rescue Victoria said both incidents were being treated as “suspicious”.<\/p>\n
\u201cFRV crews donned breathing apparatus and used hose lines to conduct an external attack on the blaze,\u201d Fire Rescue Victoria said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe incident was declared under control at 3.59am, approximately 40 minutes after crews arrived on scene.\u201d<\/p>\n
The blaze on Tuesday was allegedly started by two arsonists who were seen using a car to knock down the gym door, before running inside and starting the fire.<\/p>\n
No arrests have been made in relation to the fires, and no people have been injured.<\/p>\n
“This is the second time in two days that the premises has been targeted,” police said.<\/p>\n
“At this stage no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.”<\/p>\n
