A 22-year-old London man is facing arson charges in connection to a house fire last December.
London firefighters were called to the blaze at 216 Margaret St., just east of Egerton St. around 9:20pm on December 8, 2017. There were no injuries reported and no one was home at the time.
Damage was pegged at $20,000.
The fire was deemed suspicious prompting an investigation by the fire inspector, the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office, and London police.
On Wednesday, police arrested Bo-Richard Leforte of London in relation to the blaze. He is charged with two counts of arson disregarding human life.
Leforte made his first court appearance on the charges Thursday.
