A St. Thomas man is facing several charges after police responding to a fire at a community pool reported finding evidence of a break-in. St. Thomas police said officers on community patrol spotted an active fire and signs of forced entry at Jaycees Community Pool on Inkerman Street on Wednesday night. According to police, two people were seen running from the area when officers arrived — the fire was extinguished and no injuries were reported. Investigators said a description of the suspects was shared with officers, who quickly located a 21-year-old man on Balaclava Street. Police allege the man provided a false name when approached. The accused has been charged with arson, break and enter, mischief and obstructing a peace officer. Police said a second suspect has been identified but has not yet been located.
