PIC: File

A second person has been charged over a house fire in Barragup earlier this year.

The 27-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man, who had previously been charged in February, allegedly set fire to the house on Fiegert Road on January 20, 2023.

The blaze caused a damage bill of $700,000.

Police allege the pair had attended the home on previous occasions, breaking in and stealing property, including a number of firearms. 

The guns were later found by police in the Canning River after they received information from members of the public.

On Tuesday, March 21, a 27-year-old woman from Byford was charged with criminal damage by fire, aggravated burglary, stealing, stealing a motor vehicle, no authority to drive, supplying a prohibited drug and offering to supply a prohibited drug.

She was refused bail and is due to appear before the Perth Magistrates Court today.
