Deliberately lit grass fires at Kudla

Police are investigating a series of deliberately lit grass fires overnight in Kudla.

At about 8.30pm, Tuesday 14 March, police along with MFS and CFS crews attended two grass fires near the Gawler train line on MacAlister Road.

About 30 minutes later, a further six small fires were lit in a dry creek bed at the western end of Gordon Road between the Gawler train line and Main North Road approximately two kilometres from the first two fires. All fires were quickly extinguished.

The fires are believed to be linked and deliberately lit.
