Mid-Etobicoke residents were worried and installing security cameras after three fires were deliberately set to homes and cars in a week.
A man, who is accused of being an arsonist, has been rounded up by Toronto Police after three fires were set at homes in which three vehicles were torched.

Police in a release say the fires were set from May 13 to May 20 to homes in the Eglinton Ave. W. and Highway 427 area.

Detectives say in the first fire on May 13 a man walked up to a house in the Royal York Rd. and Eglinton Ave. W. area and poured a combustible liquid on the window sill and ignited it. The suspect took off.

Two days later, according to police, a man again walked up to a house in the Eglinton Ave. W. and Renforth Dr. area and poured a combustible liquid on two vehicles parked in the driveway and ignited them.
On May 20, just three days later, there was another incident when a similar man walked up to a home in the Eglinton Ave. W. and Renforth Dr. area and poured a liquid on a vehicle in the driveway and set it on fire.

Police after much work have now charged Philip Di Meo, 33, of Toronto, with three counts of Arson Endanger Human Life, two counts of Mischief Over $5,000, one count of Mischief Under $5,000 and three counts of Fail to Comply with a Release Order.

He appeared in court last month at 2201 Finch Avenue W.
