London police say members of its street crime unit are investigating with support from the fire department.
The 12-storey tower, operated by London and Middlesex Community Housing, was the site of a suspicious fire three years ago that resulted in arson charges against a London woman.
In that case, firefighters were called to reports of flames in a unit on the building’s eighth floor on Aug. 4, 2020 that resulted in $50,000 in damages.
