Police are asking for help regarding an arson attack that caused considerable damage to several buildings at Waihi College.

Waikato Police have taken to their Facebook Page looking for help around the arson that took place between 3.30pm and 4.00pm on Saturday, February 2.

Waikato Police say four fires were lit at Waihi College and an adjoining agricultural business.

'Luckily the fires were discovered before they could completely take hold but they still caused considerable damage to the buildings targeted,” says Waikato Police.

'If they had not been so quickly extinguished then thousands of dollars of damage would have been caused to buildings that will soon again be used for educating our children.”

These fires happened during the early afternoon when people would have been around the area. The fires at the school were in a building by the tennis courts.

If you saw anything suspicious in the area at the time or anyone who knows anything about the fires to contact Detective Simon Everson at the Waihi Police station on 07 8633711.
