A Dunedin man has been charged with arson in relation to a suspicious house fire in the Southland town of Waikaia last year.
Emergency services were called to the fire on Elswick St just after midnight on February 21, 2024.
No one was injured in the blaze, but the house sustained extensive damage.
Soon after the fire, police said they were seeking information about two vehicles seen in the area.
On Thursday, police charged a 35-year-old man and wanted to thank the people who provided information throughout the investigation.
The man was due to appear in Gore District Court on December 17.
