Man charged in alleged arson outside MP’s Toronto home now charged in another fire

A man previously accused of allegedly setting fire outside the Toronto residence of Liberal MP Salma Zahid has now been charged in connection with an arson at a vacant home in Ajax, Ontario. The individual, Roshvin Crofton, was arrested on Monday and faces multiple charges, including arson. Crofton is also accused of setting vehicles ablaze outside Zahid's home on August 27.

Police confirm that one of the neighboring homes was inhabited during the incident but the occupants managed to evacuate safely. The vacant house was completely destroyed and nearby dwellings sustained serious damage due to the fire. A second suspect in the latter case is still at large.
