Arson charges

Two men face charges after someone set a fire at a downtown Chatham business recently.

Police say the culprits uses several garbage bins and some cardboard to start a fire at a Fourth Street business in the early morning hours of Nov. 28.

The fire singed the exterior of the property, police say, and came close to the wall of a nearby building.

No one was injured, and firefighters quickly doused the flames.

Officers investigated and were able to identify their suspects.

On Dec. 1, they arrested one, and a day later, they nabbed the other.

Two Chatham-Kent men, 22 and 29, are charged with arson.
