A MAN was taken into custody accused of vehicle arson in New Providence last month.

Magistrate Algernon Allen, Jr, yesterday charged Lathario Sturrup, 38, with arson.

Sturrup and an accomplice are accused of setting fire on April 25 to a green coloured 2004 Mack Truck belonging to Sandy Morley.  The incident reportedly caused $3,000 worth of damage to the vehicle.

Sturrup’s 63-year-old accomplice, Peter Sturrup, was arraigned on the same charge two weeks ago.

The accused was told that his case would move to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). 

Sturrup’s VBI is set for service on July 3.
