The search for the culprit behind a suspected arson attack in Sydney’s west has been given new energy following the release of CCTV footage capturing the final moments before the suburban home erupted in flames.

Emergency services were called to a house fire on Dolomite Rd, Cranebrook about 9.50pm on May 25. Fire and Rescue NSW were able to quickly extinguish the blaze after containing it to the front room.

No one was home at time of the alleged attack and no injuries were reported to NSW Police.

The vehicle was last seen travelling east along Dolomite Rd, then north on Ben Nevis Rd.
