ARSON Squad detectives are hunting two men over a fire that gutted a Yokine hair salon early Tuesday morning.

They say two men arrived in a vehicle before the fire was reported about 3am and smashed the glass of the Michael Street business.

“They forced their way into the premises and poured an unknown accelerant inside and set it alight,” a police spokesman said.
