Port Hills Fire

Today Police have been working with the Fire Service trying to ascertain the cause of the fire which began last night. 

Just off the road there has been found a Nissan Primera car and it would seem that this vehicle was at the heart of where the fire has started. 

The car was reported stolen from the Wigram area after 10 pm last night. 

'We would be very interested in any sightings of a silver or grey Nissan Primera car on the summit road after 10pm.' said Detective Senior Sergeant John Rae of the Southern CIB. 

'There was likely to have been another vehicle with the Primera,' he said, 'which would have taken the people responsible for dumping the car there away from the area. If anyone can provide any information as to the actions of the person(s) in the Primera and an associated vehicle we would be pleased to hear.'
CIB staff can be contacted at the Hornby Police station on 344 1800.
