Nelson Police have taken two people into custody following a suspicious fire in the Upper Moutere area this afternoon.?
?
Police were called after two people were seen acting suspiciously in a rural Upper Moutere forestry block at around 2pm today, being a location not far from the scene of last week’s fire.?
?
Detective Inspector Paul Borrell, Nelson Bays Area Commander, says these people left the forestry area in a vehicle but were apprehended some kilometres away as result of a well-coordinated response between FENZ and police staff, that included the re-deployment of a helicopter.??
?
“We would like to thank local contractors who initially spotted the pair and immediately notified Police,” says Detective Inspector Borrell.?
?
“The use of the helicopter enabled real-time information to be passed to police providing the location of the car and persons shortly before 3pm.”?
?
“Two people were taken into custody without incident. We are currently speaking to them in relation to the this fire. A further media release will be made should charges be laid.”?
