Police Arrest Second Teen In Connection With Townhouse Fire

Officers have nabbed a second person in connection with a fire at a partly-built Mississauga townhouse complex that caused $1 million in damage.

Nineteen-year-old William Zuk, of Toronto, has been charged with one count of arson for the fire last February that damaged eight units at 1820 Burnhamthorpe Road East.

On Saturday, police arrested Toronto student Adam Zyskowski, also 19, charging him with arson in both the February fire and another one on June 29th that damaged or destroyed 60 homes worth roughly $10 million.

Zuk was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.

Anyone with information on either fire is asked to contact police at (905) 453-2121 ext. 1233 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
