Waterloo regional police have charged a man with numerous offences, including arson, after a fire in Cambridge.
Police claimed the man was already wanted on a warrant when he was reported to be inside a multi-unit home in the Beverly Street and Dundas Street North area of the city Tuesday afternoon.
Around 1:45 p.m., police started talking with the man outside the home when they noticed an active fire inside.
