At 7:18 p.m. on November 14, HRP members responded to the 6000 block of Quinpool Road to assist Halifax Fire with an intentionally lit fire in the alleyway of a building. Upon arrival, police were notified by Halifax Fire of an earlier fire on the same block in a dumpster. While police were on scene another fire started at a third location in a garbage can. All three fires were small in nature and quickly extinguished with no damage to property. Police did arrest a person of interest at the scene but they were later released without charges. HRP Forensic Identification Section attended and the arsons are being investigated by the Integrated General Investigation Section.
