Two Charged Following Taupō Fire
Detective Sergeant Allan Humphries, Taupō Police:
Two young people have been charged following a fire at a Taupō college yesterday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to the fire on Spa Road, Taupō, at about 2.15pm on Sunday 8 February.
As the block became fully engulfed, Police closed surrounding roads for approximately four hours while Fire and Emergency New Zealand worked to contain the blaze.
The block of classrooms was destroyed, along with everything inside. We acknowledge this will be devastating for college teachers, students and families.
Our investigators were able to quickly identify two alleged offenders in relation to the fire.
Two youths have since been charged with arson and are due to appear in Taupō Youth Court this week.
