Share this @internewscast.com

In a dramatic turn of events, authorities have apprehended two additional suspects connected to a daring daylight firebomb attack on an Adelaide supermarket last month. This shocking incident left two butchers with severe injuries, casting a shadow over the community.

The audacity of the attack was captured on CCTV, providing chilling footage of an alleged arsonist who inadvertently set himself on fire during the chaotic scene. Witnesses described the harrowing moments, with one victim recounting how he was drenched in fuel and feared for his life, believing the store was on the brink of a catastrophic explosion.

In a significant breakthrough, police yesterday arrested a 40-year-old man, believed to be the getaway driver, during a raid at a residence in Paralowie. According to police allegations, the suspect made his escape in a black Lexus, recklessly crashing into several vehicles as he fled from the scene.

A court heard today that one of the victims was doused in fuel and thought he was going to die and the shop was going to explode.

Yesterday, a 40-year-old man, who police allege was the getaway driver, was arrested at a home in Paralowie during a raid.

The accused driver allegedly used a black Lexus to flee the scene, colliding with several other vehicles in the process. 

He faces multiple charges, including arson, two counts of attempted murder, and six counts of endangering life. 

He was today denied bail to protect the safety of the victims and wider community.

Two other men had previously been arrested and faced court in connection with the firebombing. 

All three men will remain in custody until their next court appearance in April next year. 

A 37-year-old woman has also been arrested over the matter. 

She is accused of supplying the accelerant used in the attack and knowing its intended purpose. 

She has been granted bail and is scheduled to appear in court in January.

The investigation is ongoing.
