A man was arrested Monday morning in connection with dozens of allegedly deliberate fires raged since last week to the people of Los Angeles. An officer stopped the driver of a van in Hollywood. The vehicle matched the description that made witnesses and the driver looks like the person who picked up a surveillance camera and police whose images provided.
Authorities did not release the suspect's identity but said that he was arrested in connection with 53 fires, many of which began in parked vehicles and occurred on Friday in Hollywood, West Hollywood (neighboring area) and the San Fernando Valley.
The man is accused of arson and shall be signed by law enforcement.
The fires, which were destroyed in the affected vehicles and apartment buildings, causing damage estimated at two million dollars, said Fire Capt. city, Jamie Moore.
The suspect is similar to a "subject of interest" that appears in a video near a parking lot, said Moore.
Authorities said they would not give details so as not to interfere with the investigations of the case.
Hundreds of investigators, agents and firefighters took action to address the wave of fires over the weekend of New Year.
The police worked overtime and Hollywood was practically flooded by the incessant noise of helicopters and sirens.
Researchers still busy with making a map with the sequence of fires, examined more than 100 leads and interviewing witnesses.
Firefighters receive calls as usual to extinguish the flames burned cars, but the number of vehicles burnt out than usual. Firefighters continue to address other emergencies.
The fire left a trail of smoldering debris and smoke fired in Hollywood, West Hollywood, North Hollywood and the Fairfax district of Los Angeles.
Police asked residents to check if anyone tried to get their hands on their vehicles and take precautionary measures and put them simple key.
Other measures are recommended for people at night light up their garages and parking lots, and warn of any suspicious activity.
