The blazes, according to police, occurred over several weeks and included fires at Lions Valley Park, a playground at the Glen Abbey community centre and a barn fire near St. Volodymyr's Cultural Centre on Dundas Street West. Investigators credit the efforts of uniform officers conducting proactive patrols in identifying the alleged arsonist. Alexandre Lemelin, 28, faces three counts of arson. He was charged last weekend and held for a bail hearing. Investigation into the suspicious fires is ongoing. The OPP is also investigating two fires that occurred this fall in Bronte Creek Provincial Park. Police are appealing to anyone with information to call the Oakville Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905845-4747, ext. 2285 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
