Detectives from the Arson and Explosives Squad are investigating a fire at a business in Hadfield in the early hours of the morning.
Emergency services were called to the West Road premises just after 5am.
The unoccupied store sustained significant damage, and no one was physically during the incident.
The fire has been deemed suspicious and the investigation remains ongoing.
Police believe the incident was targeted and is likely linked to a series of arson attacks on tobacco stores dating back to March this year.
Investigators are appealing for anyone with information or CCTV/dashcam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
