Hamilton man convicted for burning childcare firm's van

A Hamilton man has been convicted for setting fire to a van belonging to a childcare firm. Jason Monkley had charged the company $2900 to fix the vehicle before the blaze occurred.

Monkley denied any involvement in the fire, claiming he had nothing to do with it. However, evidence from his own CCTV system contradicted his claims and helped secure a conviction. The incident has raised concerns over the integrity of business dealings in the community. Monkley now faces consequences for his actions.
