QUEENSLAND Police have laid a string of arson charges against a 27-year-old man, after more than 70 fires were lit deliberately in the Laidley-Gatton area west of Brisbane in the past three months.
The man, from Mount Berryman a few kilometres from Laidley on the Darling Downs, is due to appear in the Ipswich Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
His arrest followed a joint investigation by State Crime Operations Command's Arson Investigation Unit, detectives from the Southern Region, the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service and the Queensland Rural Fire Brigade Service.
Southern Region Crime Co-ordinator Detective Inspector Darrin Shadlow says the charges involve a number of offences relating to setting fire to grasslands, as well as endangering property by fire.
"Since July 24, it is believed in excess of 70 wildfires have occurred in the area with many alleged to have been deliberately lit and with the potential to damage or completely destroy houses and sheds," he said in a statement.
"In investigating these types of offences, we rely heavily on the public to provide us information about people acting suspiciously."
"If you see anything at all out of the ordinary, take a note of what you see and call police as soon as possible."
