Police in Auckland have arrested a man over a series of vehicle fires in the central city.
Detective Senior Sergeant Martin Friend said they had been investigating at least four suspicious fires near Auckland Domain since 18 September.
Most recently, two vehicles were targeted on Park Road around 9.15pm on 20 September.
"The vehicles suffered varying degrees of damage, and it's fortunate that no one was seriously injured as a result of these brazen acts," Friend said.
"It's clear though that this has caused great inconvenience to the victims."
A 50-year-old man was arrested in the Domain on Sunday, and charged with three counts of arson.
He appeared in the Auckland District Court on Monday where he was remanded in custody.
Police said he would reappear on Wednesday, and were not ruling out further charges.
