At 1:15 am Saturday morning, Charlottetown Police Services responded to an assistance call from the Charlottetown Fire Department.   The Fire Department reported a suspicious fire that occurred in one apartment at a residential building on the Lower Malpeque Road.  The fire was minimal and consisted mostly of smoke from a pot that was on the stove.  Nobody was injured or needed medical attention.  Once the smoke cleared, Officers noticed that the apartment had been broken into and a significant amount of damage was done.

A 46 year old Charlottetown male was arrested at the scene and has been charged with break and enter, mischief under $5000 and arson.   He remains in custody and will appear in Provincial Court later today.
