Information needed after suspicious fire
Hamilton Police are appealing for information from the public following a house fire on Knighton Road on Saturday 24 August around 2.30pm.

The investigation team are following strong lines of enquiry and would like to thank members of the public who have provided information to us so far.
Anyone with further information is asked to call 105 or add information by clicking ‘update report’ online: www.police.govt.nz...

Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
