News too hot to handle

IT seems someone didn’t want the newspapers distributed last week.
Pakenham police were patrolling Pakenham’s central district about 7.20am on Tuesday, 21 March, when they came upon a shopping trolley in Flower Street full of burning newspapers.
The offenders had fled by the time the police arrived.
Police were unsure which newspapers had been the subject of the arson.
