Dunedin police are investigating a burglary and arson at a
bakery in the western part of the city early today.
Emergency services were called to Bakers Dozen in the
Mornington Shops on Longwood Ave by people who saw smoke
coming from the building at 1.35am.
A scene examination by the Fire Service and police found the
fire was deliberately lit and that a burglary had also taken
place.
The fire could have affected a large number of shops if it
hadn't been spotted, Dunedin Detective Sergeant Brett Roberts
said.
The bakery was "slightly damaged" but the cleanup would be
extensive.
