Castle Hill Arson Attack


Two boys were seen at Castle Hill destroying two historic houses, by smashing out windows and pulling down walls.

The scene developed into a domestic incident when Harry and Tom were reported stalking the two arsonists. After severely destroying the two houses, Harry and Tom tried in a vain attempt to prevent these houses being completely demolished. They, Harry and Tom failed to restrain the arsonists, in a last ditch attempt to save the houses. After a confrontation between the two boys and Harry and Tom the two arsonists still continued their business of destroying the houses, using 4 by 2's to smash windows, interior doors, cupboards, and ripping down interior doors.

One boy severely gashed himself, and left traces of blood on glass they had smashed out of the windows previously. Harry and Tom then returned to the scene of the crime, to retrieve the boy's jackets and the blood stained glass. They notified Dick Harvey the parent and caregiver of the two boys, of the crime scene that was unfolding at the old houses. Dick then retrieved the two to take them back to Castle Hill Village, and file prosecution evidence against them. The following night the parents congregated to discuss the previous day events.

During the meeting between the Lindseys and the Harvey's plus 1 Mackenzie Tracey Lindsey kept on going on about how the two arsonists had not kept to their story, but in fact they had. As for Harry and Tom, they had kept changing their story. Tracey's husband Ronald Lindsey tried to stop Tracey as she wrenched open the ranch slider, claiming she'd had enough, and that her two boys were innocent. At this moment Tracey and Ronald decided to leave to allow the two arsonists to get ready to talk to the police. The following morning the police rolled up and took the arsonists to the central police station.
