Arson suspected in overnight fires near Binbrook

Hamilton Police say two suspicious fires near Binbrook are being investigated as possible arson.

Fire and police crews responded to a fire at a vacant home on Golf Club Rd. around 3:30 a.m. Thursday.

Within minutes, a second blaze broke out less than 10 minutes away at a barn on Westbrook Rd.

The two fires are believed to be linked because of the close time and location, police said in a release.

Investigators with the arson unit are looking to speak with anyone who saw people or vehicles in the area at the time.

They are also looking for any surveillance video.
