COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – A 12-year-old boy is under arrest for allegedly starting a fire that destroyed several vehicles in Colorado Springs.

It happened early this month on Baytown Drive, near Hancock and Jetwing.

Detectives say the juvenile was playing with a lighter, and the blaze spread to a carport, causing extensive damage.

No one was hurt, and no names were released because of the age of the suspect.

There is no custom code to display.
