Montreal police say they've made an arrest in the case of three criminal fires at a home in upper Westmount.

A man was arrested at his home in the Saint-Laurent borough Wednesday morning.

Police didn't release any more details about the suspect, other than to say he is being questioned by investigators and is expected to appear in court at a later date.

The house, on Edgehill Road, was targeted three times — the first, in October, when two vehicles parked in the driveway were torched.

Then, in November, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at the house.

The latest fire at the home happened in mid-March, when it was seriously damaged after someone broke a front window and tossed another Molotov cocktail inside.
