A Hastings teen has been referred to Youth Aid following a spate of fires in Frimley last year.
Detective Constable Rhyan Honeyfeild said the 15-year-old boy was referred following police investigations into the fires which plagued the Hastings suburb of Frimley between May 2016 and February this year.
The fires, which were of particular worry to residents and police, included targeting vehicles parked at residential addresses and an unoccupied homestead nearby, he said.
"I would like to thank the community for their assistance and patience with police during this investigation," Detective Constable Honeyfeild said.
