Police have charged a 30-year-old man in connection with a string of house fires in southeast Calgary last month, according to a Thursday news release.
On Nov. 3, emergency crews were called to a house fire in the 200 block of Legacy Mount S.E.
Police said two other house fires were set shortly after in the same area: another on Legacy Mount S.E. and one on Legacy Glen Way S.E.
No one was inside two of the homes, and the third home was evacuated, police said.
Police put out a plea to find a suspect on Nov. 12.
Cody Omer Doucette of Calgary was arrested on Dec. 17, police said.
He faces three counts of arson causing damage to property, and one count of arson with disregard for human life in connection to the two fires in the 200 block of Legacy Mount S.E.
Doucette was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
No charges have been laid in the Legacy Glen Way S.E. house fire.
