Police need information following Clyde fire

Neighbourly from Neighbourly.co.nz

Police are appealing for information following a fire in Clyde over the weekend.

Emergency services were called to a property on Newcastle Street about 5.15am on Sunday 24 March after a neighbour saw flames.

Minutes earlier the neighbour had heard glass breaking and a vehicle leaving at speed.

No one was home at the time.

Initial enquires by fire investigators and Police indicate the fire was deliberately lit.

Police are asking any local businesses with CCTV footage around the time of the fire to get in touch.

Anyone else with information is also urged to call Alexandra Police on (03) 440 2500 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
