Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the shocking moment a trio of aspiring arsonists accidentally torch their own getaway car. Security footage from southern Australia shows a clumsy man dousing a house with a liquid - before his escape plan goes up in smoke. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 A man is seen throwing liquid at the front of a home 4 The car is then seen bursting into flames with all three men inside 4 The men are seen sprinting out of the burning car In the video released by South Australia Police, three men are seen pulling up at night outside a fenced-off building in Port Pirie - around 124 miles north of Adelaide. One of the suspects jumps out of the car and begins dousing the home in Solomontown with liquid from a container. Police said: 'As seen in the footage, three male suspects had attended an address in Young Street and doused the front of the residence with accelerant.' Liquid can also be seen spilling onto the pavement as the man carelessly pours out the flammable substance.

The man gets back inside the car as the trio make their escape. Suddenly, the inside of the car bursts into flames and begins to roll forward. The three bungling men can be seen bolting out of the car on both sides. Police said the men 'ran off, abandoning the car in the street'. They added: 'It is extremely likely they have suffered significant burns or injuries in the fire and police urge them to seek medical attention. 'Anyone with information about the identity or location of anyone involved in this incident is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers immediately.' Moment naked PT chases down arsonist who set fire to three cars on his drive in middle of the night When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered the burning car and another fire burning at the front of a nearby home. Both fires were put out using a fire extinguisher. The people inside the house were not injured, although the outside was charred by flames, according to police. It comes as a personal trainer chased down an arsonist after three cars were set on fire outside his house in May. Mike Hind, 41, captured the blaze on his Ring doorbell in the dead of night as his children were sleeping peacefully. The gym coach, who lives in Middlesbrough, posted the footage on social media. A man dressed in joggers can be seen splashing petrol across each of the vehicles, including a Range Rover and Mazda sports car, parked in the driveway at midnight. The vehicles caught fire instantly, with flames spreading across the drive. The doorbell footage then shows an undressed Mike running out of the house as the arsonist, in a black checked shirt, runs from the scene.
