Police are appealing to the public after a series of suspicious fires in Dunedin. On April 15 police were conducting patrols in the St Kilda area in relation to previous fires when they came across a house on fire near the intersection of Moreau and Richardson Sts. On April 12 a commercial bus was gutted by fire in Dunedin and police are also investigating two car fires from the weekend of April 8 and 9. The cars in Jackson St and Bird St appeared to have been set on fire on the Friday night or early Saturday morning, according to police. The cars were parked near the Ocean Beach Hotel close to where an Atomic Shuttles bus burnt on Wednesday night.
