This morning I can reveal that the 80 Proof distribution warehouse at 8 Atlantic Drive in Keysborough has been deliberately torched in a brazen arson attack, marking the latest casualty in Melbourne’s underworld gangland conflict.

Around 10:45pm last night, a crew of arsonists acting on direct orders from overseas handlers hit the facility hard, setting the distribution centre alight in what sources close to the scene describe as a calculated hit designed to send a clear message.
