Two Vehicles Sought After Suspicious Fire In Waikaia
Detective Sergeant Brian McKinney
Police investigating a suspicious house fire in Waikaia are seeking sightings of two vehicles of interest.
Emergency services were called to the Elswick Street property just after midnight on Wednesday. While nobody was injured, the house sustained extensive damage.
Investigators would like to hear from anyone who saw either a red vehicle, or a dark-coloured twin-cab ute that was towing a trailer.
Both vehicles were seen in the vicinity of Elswick Street shortly after the property was set alight. The red vehicle was seen leaving Elswick Street and heading at speed towards Riversdale.
We would like to hear from anyone who saw vehicles matching those descriptions either prior to, or after the fire.
