Prosecutors
say a woman accused of setting a fire that damaged three buildings and
displaced a dozen New jersey families earlier this month has been arrested.
The Hudson
County prosecutor’s office announced the arrest of the 62-year-old suspect in a
brief statement on social media Friday without providing details.
The
announcement came hours after authorities asked for help from the public in
finding the Jersey City suspect.
No injuries
were reported in the June 17 blaze, but a total of 33 people were displaced.
Prosecutors
said the suspect will face charges from the Hudson County Regional Arson Task
Force of second-degree aggravated arson and second-degree causing widespread
damage.
