A large building fire that gutted a business premise in Greerton is being treated as suspicious.
A police spokeswoman confirmed today that police were investigating the suspicious blaze that happened on Chadwick Rd in Greerton about 5.30am yesterday.
The building, that was being used as a tattoo parlour, was well involved when fire crews from Greerton, Tauranga and Mount Maunganui arrived on the scene, a Fire and Emergency NZ spokeswoman said.
