Four people have been arrested and are facing charges in connection with a fire in June at a Reads Corner Motel in Summerside. The fire was deemed to be the result of arson and the Summerside Police Major Crime Unit has been heading the investigation. At about 5:30am on Thursday, police executed warrants simultaneously at four different homes in Summerside where the suspects were located and taken into custody.
A 34-year old man has been charged with arson with disregard for human life, arson causing damage to property and possession of an incendiary device. He’s been remanded into custody until October 3rd.
The three remaining suspects were released from custody on electronic monitoring and will soon be appearing in court to answer to charges of being parties to the offence of arson.
