An 18-year old's been arrested - after a fire at a Palmerston North building last month

Late afternoon on November 30, officers were called to a blaze at the former Fitzherbert Bar, on Ferguson Street.

Members of the public and CCTV helped police identify a suspect who's been charged with arson, to appear in Palmerston North District Court next Tuesday.

Police have also spoken to other people, and say more action's likely.
