A man faced court over a house fire that burnt through a single-storey property in Norlane last month.
Geelong Crime Investigation Unit detectives charged 29-year-old Norlane man, Jordan Burojevic, following the fire at a Bellbird Avenue home on August 17.
The detectives alleged Burojevic set the house alight, charging him with arson, reckless conduct endangering serious injury and burglary in relation to the incident.
The charges came after police executed a search warrant at a Bellbird Avenue address on Tuesday, according to police.
Burojevic appeared at Geelong Magistrates Court on Wednesday and was bailed to appear again for a mention on November 12.
Fire crews took about 20 minutes to bring the blaze under control on August 17 after arriving at the property at 11.01am, according to Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV).
“Crews identified the single-storey house fully-involved and began searching the residence for possible persons inside,” the FRV spokesperson said that day.
“The subsequent search found no occupants inside.”
