Police investigating the fire at a Woolston scrap metal yard last week are seeking help from the public.
The fire broke out around 8pm on Wednesday 17 August, and was extinguished by mid-afternoon on Friday 19th.
Detective Sergeant Mike Varnam says through CCTV, Police have images of a small group of people believed to have been involved in starting the fire, and are following lines of inquiry to identify them.
“As well, we know there would have been a number of people who took videos or photos of the fire,” Detective Sergeant Varnam says.
“As part of our ongoing inquiries we are keen to see any of those images that people can supply us.”
