A 42-year-old man has been arrested in connection with four fires that were deliberately set in Victoria and Saanich this summer.
Victoria police say Edwin Singh was arrested Sunday evening and is charged with four counts of arson.
"While no one was injured in any of these fires, they resulted in significant damage to property," Victoria police said in a statement Tuesday. Two of the fires on Government Street involved vehicles being set alight – one at a rental car business and another at a Mercedes-Benz dealership, which damaged several vehicles.
