An Oakville, Ont., man has been charged with arson and other offences after a fire at an apartment building last Friday morning.
Police and firefighters were called to the highrise on Marine Drive, where police reportedly determined a planter’s box in the lobby was set on fire.
Halton Regional Police say none of the 172 residents of the building was hurt, due in large part to a concrete overhang.
Officers arrested Nash Thompson, 29, of Oakville, on Sunday.
