06:33 am on 24 December 2013

Police say a home in Pokeno, south-east of Auckland, which was burned in a suspicious fire may have housed a P lab.

The police clandestine laboratory team was at the site of the fire on Helenslee Road at about 8pm on Monday after the fire broke out earlier in the afternoon.

They could not say if a lab was operating when the fire broke, or what caused the blaze.
