## Resource

A cafe in Essendon went up in flames early Monday, causing major damage and threatening the Australia Post next door — but this isn’t the first time the spot’s been targeted. Just days prior, it was hit in a drive-by shooting, caught on CCTV, prompting police to chase down and arrest two suspects. The owner, who’s been there for nearly 18 years, is baffled and shaken — wondering if it’s mistaken identity — but relieved the shooters were caught. Now investigators are probing whether the fire is linked to the shooting, with an arson chemist on standby and a call for witnesses.
