Police are looking for three people believed to be involved in an arson in Dunedin last night.

Police were called to Montpellier St in the suburb of Mornington around 10.15pm after a vacant property was set on fire.

"The offenders left the scene in a vehicle and crashed into a stationary taxi," a police spokeswoman said.

"They then fled on foot. One person was taken into custody, three remain outstanding."

She said inquiries were ongoing to locate them.
