¡°Our staff were acting with good intention at the time and suspected the man had committed the offence.

¡°However, we accept they did not have good cause to suspect the man committed arson and as such did not have grounds to make the arrest.

¡°Our staff apologised to this man and we have had discussed learnings around this event with them.¡±
