Winnipeg police say they’ve arrested a trio of teens in connection with a fire that destroyed two vacant buildings in February.
The major crimes unit took over investigation of the Feb. 7 Balmoral Street blaze, police said, and arrested the teens, ages 13, 15 and 16, on Sunday.
No one was injured in the incident, and the three youths, two boys and a girl, each face a charge of possessing incendiary materials and two counts of arson causing damage to property.
