Police will be ramping up their presence in Manurewa as they investigate a trio of suspicious fires in the suburb overnight.

Officers were called to a garage fire at a Lupton Rd property around 8.30 pm last night.

Just half an hour later, reports a house was ablaze on Deveron
Rd were received, with a second house fire at nearby Russell Rd being attended to at 9.30 pm.

No injuries have been reported in relation to the fires.

Senior Sergeant Veronica McPherson said the community can expect to see an increased police presence as they investigate whether the incidents could be linked.
