A 50-year-old man has been charged and was remanded in custody after a series of vehicle fires in central Auckland.
Police have been investigating the suspicious fires around Auckland Domain since September 18.
Detective Senior Sergeant Martin Friend said at least four fires have been under investigation.
The most recent incident occurred on September 20, where two vehicles were targeted on Park Rd at about 9.15pm, according to police.
The other fires were on September 18, 19 and 20.
Friend said the vehicles suffered “varying degrees of damage”.
“It’s fortunate no one was seriously injured as a result of these brazen acts.
“It’s clear though that this has caused a great inconvenience to the victims.”
Friend said the man was arrested in Auckland Domain on Sunday evening.
“The man appeared in the Auckland District Court on Monday, charged with three counts of arson.”
He has been remanded in custody until his next appearance on September 25.
Friend added inquiries are ongoing and further charges cannot be ruled out.
