Arson at Blenheim brothel

Police are investigating a suspicious fire which gutted Blenheim's Kinross St brothel in what the manager calls a spiteful attack.

Blenheim Escort Agency manager Teresa Boyce said the arson was discovered about 1am on Saturday.

"I am very angry because what if someone was there? This is just spiteful stuff."

On Friday night the tyres of Ms Boyce's car and another at the brothel were pierced with a knife.
