A BERWICK man has been assisting police with inquiries over a suspicious fire at a newly renovated South Melbourne hotel part owned by a famed Collingwood football player last year.
Port Phillip Crime Investigation Unit detectives arrested the 47-year-old at a Malvern address about 9am on Wednesday 13 July following an investigation into the destruction of what would be The Albion roof top bar which was part owned by AFL player Dane Swan.
The fire destroyed the York Street hotel on 5 October last year, days before it was due to open on 16 October.
