Arson Charges Laid

File: 2022997549

A 23 year old Charlottetown male was arrested Friday night in connection to the two arson files.

As reported last week, Police had responded to two separate structure fires that were deliberately set during the early morning hours of July 19th.   A male suspect was captured on E-watch and local business surveillance and later positively identified.

The accused was subsequently charged with two counts of arson.  He was remanded in custody over the weekend and released with conditions yesterday morning and will appear in Provincial Court at a later date.

Police wish to thank the public for their assistance.
