Information needed after suspicious fire

The Team from Waikato Police

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

A forensic examination of the scene has since determined the fire was deliberately lit.

Considerable damage was caused to the house during the blaze and neighbouring occupied properties were also put at risk.

Police would like to speak to anyone who has not already been in touch that saw people or vehicles in the area that were unfamiliar or behaving suspiciously at the time of the arson on Knighton Road.

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...
Please reference file number: 240824/4991

Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
