Victoria police have arrested a man in connection with suspicious fires in June, including a blaze that did extensive damage at the U-Haul location on Topaz Avenue.

Two storage units and two vehicles were destroyed in the latter fire on the night of June 7. No one was injured.

Two other fires were discovered early that morning in the parking lot of a business in the 600-block of Hillside Avenue, near Government Street. The fires were close to a building and vehicles.

Police arrested a suspect Tuesday at a temporary housing facility at the former Comfort Inn. Two counts of arson are being recommended.
