Police are investigating a spate of bin fires across Warragul and Drouin.
The first fire occurred in Smith St, Warragul at about 1.50am on Sunday, March 3.
Police believe a blow torch was used to set a wheelie bin alight. Four males were seen in the vicinity of Warragul Railway Station at the time.
At 1.50am on Wednesday morning, two bins were completely destroyed near Drouin Memorial Park.
In this instance, a small industrial bin in Hope St was burnt as well as a general waste bin next to the park's toilet block.
Police also reported damage to toilet paper holders in both male and female toilets. The paper had been removed and was possibly used to start the fires.
A council plastic wheelie bin also was set on fire at Warragul Skate Park just after 9pm on Saturday.
The bin was destroyed and a surrounding patch of grass also burnt.
Upon arrival, police observed five youths leave the vicinity and head across the railway line.
Anyone with information on these three fires is asked to contact Warragul Police on 5622 7111.
