Melbourne: So, there’s this wild story coming out of Doncaster East. Police are on the lookout for a guy who might just be the most unusual Christmas character ever.
It all kicked off around 3 a.m. on Christmas morning when emergency services rushed to a fire outside a fast food joint on Doncaster Rd.
When they got there, they found some burnt clothes, including a pair of underpants. Yep, you heard that right! It seems like someone had a bit of a mishap.
Investigators think the fire was set on purpose, which triggered the sprinklers. Talk about a messy Christmas!
They even found singed shoes and pants at the scene, but the guy who did it? He was nowhere to be seen.
A spokesperson from Victoria Police joked that this might be the only Victorian hoping Santa would bring him some new underpants this year.
After the fire was put out, there was just a small burn mark left on the footpath. The investigation is still going, and they’re asking anyone with info to step up.
