At about 3am on Friday the 27th of January, a male wearing dark clothing was seen at the scene of a suspicious fire in Woolston Park. The witness, a middle aged man on a scooter, was riding passed on his way to or from work.
The witness stopped and reported the fire to the Fire Service from the Shell Service Station on Brougham Street. Police believe this man can help them with their enquiries into the suspicious fire.
The fire was started in a rubbish bin and the offender has set alight a lot of paper in a rubbish bin and ripped part of a building off to try and feed the fire.
If anyone knows this man or you can help police with this investigation, please contact Constable Paul COOPER of the Christchurch Police on 03 3637492.
