A teenager has been arrested following a spate of arsons in Northland this month.
Police arrested the 18-year-old Kawakawa man last week in relation to the arson of the Kawakawa Superette on January 13.
He has also been charged with two burglaries to commercial buildings in the Bay of Islands town.
The man has been remanded in custody until February 12.
Police have also spoken to a group of teenage Kawakawa boys aged 13 to 16 years, who they believe were responsible for four deliberately lit fires in the area.
