Officers with the Winnipeg Police Service said the man arrested in connection to the Tyndall Avenue house fire on Saturday has been linked to a separate arson.
Police previously reported that around 5:15 a.m. on Saturday, they were called to the Willow Park Housing Co-op on Tyndall Avenue after a man was seen attempting to set a vehicle on fire.
Officers said that area residents scared off the suspect, but noticed a nearby townhouse was engulfed in flames. The three people inside the home managed to escape without getting hurt.
Losses from this fire are estimated to exceed $100,000.
In relation to these incidents, Trevor Brandon Ternent, 24, was charged with three counts of arson -- disregard for human life, and one count of arson -- damage to property.
On Tuesday, police said that a short time after the first arsons, a fire was set at a home in the 1500 block of Pritchard Avenue. No one was hurt, but damages are estimated to be around $10,000.
Police have now charged Ternent with two more counts of arson – disregard for human life, and one count of nudity and indecent exposure.
None of the charges against Ternent have been proven in court. He is in custody.
