1 min read

Attribute to Detective Constable Rhyan Honeyfield

Hawke's Bay Police are investigating a series of deliberately lit fires in the Hastings suburb of Frimley in recent weeks.

In the early hours of the 30th of December a hedge on a Nottingley Road property was set alight. 

This was followed by a similar incident overnight in Frimley Road on the 7th of January where a tree was damaged by fire.

Sometime over the same period a tractor was also set alight in the Bridgeman Concrete yard, Omahu Road.

The fires are not believed to be linked to the Holmes Place house fire in Flaxmere on the 2nd of January. 

Police ask the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity by ringing Hastings Police on (06) 873 0531 or call anonymously on Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
