Alleged Finks bikies charged over Blacktown tattoo parlour fire

Police have alleged two top Finks bikies are behind a fire at a Blacktown tattoo parlour earlier this year. Raptor cops swooped on the pair in north west Sydney this week.

Two high-ranking Finks bikies have been charged following an investigation into a fire at a tattoo parlour earlier this year, police have said.

Emergency services were called to Sunnyholt Road, Blacktown on June 22 around 1.10am following reports of a fire spreading from the rear of a tattoo parlour.

Fire crews put out the flames and police established a crime scene.

Strike Force Hollier was created and in September police released CCTV of the incident.

The CCTV showed a man produce a can of liquid which he threw at the building before attempting to ignite it, resulting in a huge fireball.

The men are then seen running from the scene as the fire spreads, leaving a jerry can behind.
