A third person has been charged over the hit-and-run death of a New Zealand firefighter who was found dead in the NSW Hunter region two years ago.

The body of Ian Pullen was discovered on the side of the road in the early hours of September 29, 2018, at Glenridding near Singleton.

NSW Police arrested a 21-year-old woman on Monday morning at a home in Whittingham.

She has been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder, and was refused bail to appear at Muswellbrook Local Court on Monday.

Two other people - a 30-year-old woman and 29-year-old man - were charged with murder earlier this year and are before the courts.
