A man charged following a spate of fires in the seaside community of Piha will keep his identify secret for now.
The 19-year-old Piha resident was arrested in Tauranga after a number of fires broke out at the settlement on Auckland's west coast in the early hours of May 7.
He faces three arson charges and one of burglary.
At the Waitakere District Court on Monday, Judge June Jelas extended a suppression on his name until his next appearance in June.
The man was granted the suppression last week following reports threats had been made against him on social media.
