Police are investigating the arson of a house in Whangarei early this morning.
The house on Smeaton Drive was destroyed, and police are treating the fire as suspicious.
The occupants were staying at another address in a nearby street at the time.
Detective Senior Sergeant Dene Begbie thinks the fire may be linked to a number of disorder incidents in the area earlier last night.
Police are appealing for information.
