Security cameras have captured the moment a South Australian barber shop was targeted in a fire bomb attack.
Police are investigating two suspicious fires at Hall of Fade Barbershop in Blackwood over the course of two days.
In the latest incident, emergency services were called to the store at 1.30am after an explosion broke out at the business.
Firefighters managed to contain the fire to the barber shop and extinguished the blaze.
Security vision shows two suspects forcing their way into the store with a jerry can in tow.
The pair eventually re-emerge and ignite the fire which resulted in an explosion.
The two were even caught up in the blaze themselves, with one of them catching fire in the process.
“We found that the barber shop had the front window broken and fire was throughout the whole store,” Metropolitan Fire Service assistant chief fire officer Dale Thompson said.
“There was a jerry can out front the store that was still on fire when crews arrived.”
Neighbouring businesses were affected by the smoke.
“The smoke was everywhere, our shop was completely smoked,” witness Moula Mohammad said.
This incident follows a small fire at the same business at 9.10pm on Sunday, where police found Molotov cocktails which were party ignited on the footpath.
The owner has told 9News he has no idea who would want to target the business.
