## Summary

Police in Sydney are investigating a suspected arson attempt at a family home in Abbotsford, where a driveway was sprayed with a threatening message and covered in petrol. The incident may be linked to organised crime tensions and a nearby house fire, prompting police to increase their response to protect residents.

Emergency services were called to Weddle Avenue shortly before 3.30am on Saturday. Witnesses saw two people leave in a four-wheel drive after a neighbour smelled fuel and shouted; the message read, “Junkie dog. Don’t run your mouth.” Police are examining the scene and whether the incident is connected to a fire two doors away on Tuesday, when an 88-year-old woman was rescued from a balcony, the house was destroyed and four people were treated for smoke inhalation. Police allege a 17-year-old boy involved in that fire suffered severe burns.
