the windsor police service has arrested a suspect in connection with two targeted arsons at the same walkerville residence four days apart.
shortly before 1 a.m. on thursday, june 12, fire crews and police responded to a report of an active fire at a residence in the 1100 block of pierre avenue. investigators determined the fire had been deliberately ignited in a second-floor sunroom.
four days later, in the early hours of monday, june 16, fire crews and police again responded to an active fire at the same address that was determined to have originated beneath a staircase and then spread to the garage. investigators again concluded the fire had been intentionally set.
no physical injuries were reported in either incident, though the property sustained significant damage.
following an investigation by the windsor police service’s arson unit, a 32-year-old man was identified as the suspect in both cases. he turned himself in at windsor police headquarters on wednesday (june 25).
the suspect has been charged with: break-and-enter with intent; arson with disregard for human life; arson causing property damage; possession of incendiary material; wearing a disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence; and failure to comply with a probation order.
