Detectives are hoping CCTV footage could spark a breakthrough in their investigation into an suspected arson attack on a YouTube personality’s home.

Emergency services responded to a fire at a Bondi home a year ago, when the property and an adjoining house were significantly damaged.

The home, belonging to YouTuber Jordan Shanks-Markovina, also known as Friendlyjordies, was vacant at the time of the fire.

Police said the incident appeared to be linked to another fire reported at the property days earlier.

Footage released on Wednesday shows two cars investigators believe could be linked to the blaze.

One car is a black 2018 Mercedes C200, believed to be stolen and carrying cloned plates.

The other is a silver 2013 Ford Falcon with one working fog light and reflective stickers under the number plate.

The cars were near the crime scene around the time of the fires after travelling to the eastern suburbs from the Campbelltown area, about 50km away.

Police believe four or more men, with potential links to organised crime, were in the cars at the time.

Investigators have asked anyone with information about the cars or the identities of their owners and occupants at the time to come forward.
