A 66-year-old man has been arrested over a suspected firebombing in Gosford. 

The man was arrested at a home in Wallarah, on NSW‘s Central Coast, at 1.30pm on Friday as investigations continue into several explosions and a fire. 

He has been taken to Wyong Police Station. 

It comes after a Legal Aid building and a lawyers’ offices were hit in an arson attack in Gosford at 2.20pm on Thursday. 

Emergency services were initially called to the Legal Aid building on Donnison Street following reports of explosions.

A short time later, police were called to the Kensmen building on the same street following reports of a fire and of smoke coming out of the third floor.

It comes after police released a CCTV image of a man they wished to speak to who was seen in the area at the time of the incident.
