Police want help with arson
Police are appealing for information after a suspicious fire in Gisborne last year.
According to a statement, on July 14, 2020, an unknown person approached a house on Sterling Park in Lytton West and threw a burning object at it, setting it alight.
No one was injured in the blaze, but the house sustained a moderate level of exterior damage.
Police are asking to hear from anyone who has knowledge of the incident or the offender.
A man was seen on CCTV near the scene, dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses.
He had at least two distinctive tattoos, one on his right forearm, one on his left wrist.
People can contact police on the 105 number and are asked to quote file number 200715/7029, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
