OPP say they have made an arrest in an arson case after a Battersea store caught fire earlier this week.
Thursday afternoon, OPP announced that they arrested and charged Michael Ball of Battersea with two counts of arson.
This is following a fire at an apartment building atop a general store in Battersea. Those living inside the apartment were able to escape after people nearby alerted them to the flames.
