(KAIR)--Three juveniles are accused of intentionally setting a series of fires in Jefferson County earlier this month.
According to a release from Jefferson County Sheriff, his office, on August 10, “received information from a concerned parent monitoring their child’s social media usage, that allowed for the identification of three juveniles from Jefferson County as being involved in the starting of all four fires.”
According to the release, “all three juveniles and their guardians have been contacted in reference to these arsons, and these crimes are being referred to the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office for prosecution.”
According to Herrig, the first arson occurred August 3, when a vehicle was intentionally set on fire in the 7100 block of K-4 Highway, south of Meriden.
Three separate fires occurred August 5, one in the 600 block of Meriden’s Main Street, where a vehicle and garage were destroyed. A second fire was allegedly set at the Meriden Threshing Bee grounds, and a third occurred in a field located at K-92 Highway and Village Greens Road.
No injuries are reported.
