Department of Housing, was destroyed in a suspected arson attack last month. Police have said there were prior incidents of vandalism and attempted arson at the address.
It is unclear whether police believe there is a direct link between the distribution of racist flyers and the arson attack. In a statement, police said were investigating possible links between the assault accusations against the girls, the flyers, and the house fire. “Investigations indicate an unknown group of people distributed offensive and harassing materials via mail in the Tewantin area in the lead-up to the arson of the house,” police said.“Anyone with information regarding the arson or distribution of hate mail is asked to contact police.”
Police said the three men may be able to assist with their inquiries. The footage shows the three men in the Tewantin neighbourhood. One man places a flyer in a letter box and two others are shown walking through the streets. Guardian Australia has viewed posts – which remain online on multiple social media platforms – identifying the girls accused of the attack, and listing their addresses, physical description, ethnicity and phone numbers.
