A fire which started at a Masterton hotel last Friday is being investigated by police as suspicious after it was set alight by a projectile.
Initial inquiries found that a projectile had been thrown at the reception area of the Highwayman Motel from the front lawn when the fire began at around 10.15pm on June 28, police said.

Anyone who was in the vicinity of the motel and who may have seen any suspicious vehicles or people around the time of the fire have been urged to contact Masterton police on 105, quoting file number 190629/1561, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
