3 charged in Ohio RV arsons at storage yard


FAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Two men and a woman have been arrested in connection with fires that destroyed several recreational vehicles at a southwest Ohio storage yard.

Police Chief Ben Kramer in southwest Ohio’s Ross Township says the late November arson fires did more than $700,000 damage. Investigators said the campers were set on fire cover up thefts and break-ins. Six RVs were a total loss and a seventh was damaged at Southwest RV Service and Storage.

The JournalNews of Hamilton reports a 19-year-old man has been charged with aggravated arson, arson and other counts. The charges against the other two suspects — a 21-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman — include complicity.

Kramer said a fourth suspect was still being sought.
