New Zealand Police are appealing for information following a suspicious car fire in Bluff on Sunday, May 4.
At about 3:40 p.m., a Ford Courier ute was set alight while parked on Marine Parade. The vehicle suffered substantial damage. Senior Constable Pete Jenkins said a man carrying a red petrol can was seen running away from the vehicle after it was set on fire.
“This person was last seen running south on Henderson Street, where he was picked up in a dark-coloured vehicle,” Jenkins said in a statement. “We want to talk to this man, and also need to hear from anyone who has information that could help our enquiries.”
Anyone who saw suspicious activity in the Marine Parade area on Sunday is urged to report it to police online or by calling 105.
