London police say they’ve charged a 22-year-old man in connection with an arson investigation from late last year.

Officers say they responded to a home on Margaret Street around 9:20 p.m. on Dec. 8 after reports of a fire.

They say no one was in the home at the time, but in December, it was reported one person suffered minor injuries in connection with the incident.
