Four teenage boys have been arrested over two arson attacks linked to the ongoing tobacco shop wars gripping Victoria.
Two 16-year-olds, a 14-year-old and a 17-year-old will be interviewed by police after warrants were issued on Friday.
The arrests come after an aggravated burglary in Wonga Park, in Melbourne's east as well as arson attacks at a Mill Park restaurant, west of the city, and a tobacconist in Ballarat in February.
A white Isuzu D-Max and a silver Ford Ranger were stolen during the Wonga Park burglary between 10pm on February 19 and 7am the following day.
The Ford Ranger was then used in an arson attack at a reception centre in Thomastown, in the city's north, on February 22.
It was later found burnt out in Bundoora.
A 20-year-old St Albans man faced court on February 29 in relation to that incident.
At 3.40am on February 27, the Isuzu D-Max was involved in an attempted arson at a Mill Park restaurant on The Link.
The car reversed towards the restaurant's front door and a number of offenders got out of the vehicle, with one reaching back in to remove a jerry can, police said.
A witness saw the ute and ran towards the scene, causing the offenders to flee.
The same vehicle was then used the following day in an arson attack at a tobacconist in Ballarat about 3.35am.
The store was significantly damaged during the incident.
A short time later, the vehicle was located burnt out on Eureka St.
A second vehicle, a stolen BMW X1 bearing stolen plates is captured on CCTV in convoy with the Isuzu.
The BMW was seized from a Springvale address last week.
Four other underage teenagers were previously charged as part of the investigation into the incidents.
A 26-year-old man was charged with a string of offences over a January arson attack at a tobacco shop earlier this week.
Victoria Police's Taskforce Lunar is investigating the state's ongoing and fiery gangland tobacco shop war that has led to shops and function centres burnt down.
