Porirua Police are investigating a suspected arson to a Paremata home that occurred on Monday 25 June at about 10.30pm.

The fire occurred at 188 Paremata Road. The driveway to the address is on State Highway 58 between Oak Ave and Postgate Drive.

Detective Sergeant Andrew Saunders says that fortunately no one was home at the time of the fire.

"We are very concerned about the incident because we believe someone has deliberately set a home on fire at night-time, which is clearly a highly risky situation where someone could have lost their life.

"A significant amount of damage occurred at the property.

"We would like to speak to anyone who lives in the vicinity, or who was driving past at the time, who might have seen people or vehicles coming or going from the area."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Porirua CIB on Tel: 04 238 1400.
