The following can be attributed to Senior Sergeant Richard Quested:
 
Police in Timaru have arrested and charged a 19-year-old man with intentional damage, burglary and arson in relation to recent fires at the Timaru Bowling Club and Mountain View High School.
 
He will appear in the Timaru District Court today.
