Police have cornered off a road in the Masterton area, a day after several churches and a funeral home there were reportedly targeted in arson attacks.
Police said they sighted a vehicle of interest about 9.15am this morning, and the vehicle was located abandoned a short distance away at about 11am.
Cordons are in place while police work to locate the occupant.
No further information was available.
Four churches across the Wairarapa town were set alight between 4am and 5am on Saturday morning.
Police said Saturday they were following up CCTV as well as a Facebook post in which a local man claimed he carried out those attacks.
There is no information as to whether today's police cordons are related to that investigation.
More to come.
