Police question woman after deliberate blaze destroys Devonport unit

A unit in Devonport has been destroyed by a fire that authorities say was deliberately lit.

Emergency services were called to the blaze on the corner of William and Madden Streets around 12:30pm on Wednesday.

A 39-year-old Devonport woman was taken into custody and is assisting police with their inquiries.

“Investigators would like to hear from anyone with information about the incident,” a spokesperson said.

“Information can be provided to Western Criminal Investigation Division on 131 444.”
