Arson Spree Up To 40 Fires Across L.A.

Video of Person of Interest in L.A. Arson Spree Released,

There have been multiple pieces of information of suspect description and vehicle descriptions at the different crime scene investigations and we're culling all of that information together," LAPD Deputy Chief Jorge Villegas said during a news conference Saturday morning.

"We've detained a number of people, none that we can say that were legitimately connected to this investigation at this point."

The arson spree began Friday morning, with at least 21 intentionally-set fires, including one that damaged the former residence of Jim Morrison.

"If you light 19 fires in 5 hours, you're trying to say something," West Hollywood Mayor John Duran said. "This is not the way to say it."

Law enforcement sources told the Times that it would be difficult -- but not impossible -- for one person to set all those fires. The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said it's possible there is more than one arsonist or that some fires are the work of copycats.

Whoever is setting the fires seem to be targeting cars, as most of the new fires burned vehicles either parked in carports or on the street.

No one has been reported injured.

Authorities arrested 22-year-old Samuel Arrignton, of Sunland, and one other person Thursday in connection with three arsons that occurred in a five-block stretch of Sunset Blvd.

They have not said if the fires on Thursday are related to the subsequent fires.
