A man is to appear in Whangarei District Court today on a charge of arson in relation to a house fire in Purua, north of Whangarei, last year.
The house on Irvine Road at Purua was allegedly set alight between February 22 and 23, 2012 while the owner was overseas.
The house was destroyed by the fire. The 51-year-old man to appear today is also facing several charges on an unrelated matter.
These include: two charges of making an intimate recording (one of these is a representative charge); one representative charge of publishing an intimate recording; and two charges of possession of an intimate recording (one of these is a representative charge).
