Good old fashioned police work is credited with helping to solve an arson case on Bluewater Drive in Saugeen Shores.
Back on May 15th, Saugeen Shores Fire and Police attended a blaze in Port Elgin.
The fire was started in a home under construction but severely damaged a neighbouring home as well.
Saugeen Shores police chief Dan Rivett says earlier this summer, the area was also experiencing numerous thefts from vehicles and homes.

A warrant is out for the arrest of a 23-year-old Toronto man, for Break and Enter, Arson, and three counts of mischief over five thousand dollars.
