Anyone with information regarding the arson or distribution of hate mail is asked to contact police.

Police have released footage of a vehicle and three people who may be able to assist with ongoing investigations into the arson of a Tewantin home in March.

On Wednesday 29 March at approximately 1.30am, emergency services were called to a fire at a Waratah Close address.

The house was destroyed by the deliberately lit fire.

No one was inside the home at the time of the fire.

Police will allege the residence was linked to an earlier assault, deprivation of liberty and robbery investigation on Saturday 11 March.

Further investigations indicate an unknown group of people distributed offensive and harassing materials via mail in the Tewantin area in the lead up to the arson of the house.

Investigators believe there may be a link between the three incidents.

Anyone with information regarding the arson or distribution of hate mail is asked to contact police.
