A BOY was arrested last week in connection with a spate of arsons which left residents terrified to venture out of their homes in Edmonton.
Warwick Road and the surrounding areas became an arson hotspot in May and June after eight confirmed attacks on cars and one on an empty house.
Petrol was thought to have been used to set the cars alight and two youths were seen throwing a bottles into a car and running off.
Police arrested a 15-year-old on July 30 and he has been bailed to return to Edmonton police station on September 10 pending the results of forensic tests.
