Levin Police are still seeking information on a boat theft and arson in Ōhau last month.

Levin Police are still seeking information on a boat theft and arson in Ōhau last month.

Who stole a boat, only to set fire to it and leave behind a molten mess.

That's what Levin Police want to know. They are still investigating a burglary and subsequent arson of a fishing boat in Ōhau last month are appealing to the public for anyone with information to contact an anonymous phone line.

Early on the morning of Friday 17 July, a boat and trailer was stolen from an address in Ōhau.

The boat was taken about 4km along Muhunoa West Road in the small Horowhenua township, where it was set alight.

By the time Police and Fire and Emergency arrived at that scene about 4:45am, the boat was engulfed in flame. By the time the fire subdued, the boat had melted well beyond repair.
