Three 12-year-old children are facing arson charges stemming from several fires in Regina.
Police say one of the children, a 12-year-old boy, has been charged in connection with 21 arsons that occurred between February 2 and May 31.
Among the charges is one count of arson with disregard for human life in relation to a May 24 fire at an occupied home in the 1100 block of Rae Street.
A vacant house, a garage, numerous garbage and recycling bins and a fence was among the property that was allegedly set ablaze.
