Company says it was “lucky no-one was hurt in fires.
A Christchurch demolition company is offering a $20,000 reward to hunt down an arsonist who destroyed trucks worth more than $500,000.
Breens Demolition is unsure whether the firm was targeted in the Harewood attack, but believes it is lucky no-one was injured or killed in the fires. “People can’t get away with this sort of thing – it’s not on,” business manager Angie Muir said yesterday.
Three trucks, worth about $600,000 to replace, were destroyed while two others were damaged.
The arsonist broke into the locked yard through a fence connected to a neighbouring business and then forced their way into the trucks to commit the crime, Muir said. Nothing was stolen. The trucks were insured.
A reward of $20,000 for information that led to the conviction of the arsonist had been offered.
