Police investigate arson incident at Tasmazia

Devonport CIB is investigating a deliberately lit fire at Tasmazia complex overnight.

 

Police and Tasmania Fire Service were called to the business in Staverton Road, Promised Land, about 2.45am after neighbours raised the alarm.

 

On arrival, the southern end of the gift shop was well alight. The Tasmania Fire Service quickly extinguished the fire, although there was significant damage to the southern wall of the gift shop.

 

No one was injured during the incident.

 

“While Tasmania Fire Service and Forensic Police are continuing their investigations at the scene, it’s apparent that the fire was deliberately lit,” Detective Senior Sergeant Richard Chugg said.

 

“Anyone who saw anyone or any vehicle acting suspiciously in the area around the time of the incident should call Devonport CIB on 131444 or report anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”

 

The Tasmazia complex will be closed until further notice.
