Woman arrested in Saint John arson: police

Saint John police have made an arrest in connection with an arson investigation on the city’s west side.

Flames broke out at an apartment building on Saint John Street during the early morning hours of Jan. 4.

“Significant damages were sustained to the building as a result of the fire,” police said in a news release on Thursday.

“Through the course of the investigation, investigators were led to believe that the fire was set.”

A 45-year-old woman was arrested in connection with the investigation on Jan. 16.

She is due to appear in court next Thursday to face charges.
