Crime

Arsonist(s) in Venice ~ Venice Beach

11:22 AM PDT on May 28, 2010

The excellent community site Yo! Venice! reports:

There were a reported five fires set by the Venice Beach Arsonist last night into the early morning. This picture was from around 1:15am. Arson investigators on the way and a person of interest being questioned, after being apprehended on the boardwalk. This does not mean they have the guy, be on the alert and report ANYTHING suspicious!

According to KPCC, two young men have been arrested in connection with the fires, but as of this writing they have not yet been charged with a crime.
