The police said that a second person has been arrested in connection with an arson attempt that took place in Luqa last December.

The police arrested a 39-year-old man of Ta’ Xbiex who is expected to be arraigned in court today.

Earlier this week another man was accused of having set alight a potted plant near a house in Triq il-Wilga, Luqa on 19 December last year between 3am-5am.

The front door of the house subsequently caught fire. At least one person was inside the house at the time of the alleged arson.
