A West Auckland couple were badly burned and had their home torched when a teenager threw a Molotov cocktail through their bedroom window in the dead of night.
Police were called to the Cron Ave, Te Atatū house about 2.30am on Sunday, August 6.
Detective Sergeant Murray Free said the couple were asleep when their room was engulfed in flames.
“One person received burns to their face, and both occupants were treated for smoke inhalation and minor burns to their bodies,” Free said.
