Arson charges have been laid in connection to a fire in Chatham over the weekend.

Authorities say two trailers were set on fire behind Value Village on Keil Drive Saturday night, and emergency crews also found a box spring and garbage bin were torched behind Bowlerama next door.

Total damage is pegged at $200,000.

Thanks to video surveillance, authorities were able to identify a suspect, and last night a 38-year-old woman was arrested and charged with two counts of arson. She was also already under a court order not to be in possession of any incendiary devices.
