FIRE ripped through the back of a Pakenham supplement shop this morning (Friday).
At about 3.50am, the CFA forced entry to contain a fire that had broken out in the rear of the Main Street shop.
The scene was under guard for the remainder of the morning, pending the outcome of a forensics investigation. The matter is now being dealt with by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Pakenham Police.
