Boston police charge 3 juveniles in playground arson case
The estimated cost of the damage is more than $10,000.
Boston police say they have charged three juveniles with arson in connection with a school playground fire in Roslindale that caused more than $10,000 in damage.
The fire destroyed the Charles Sumner Elementary School playground on May 23, police say.
Firefighters responded to the blaze just before 10 p.m. on that night. The fire spread to the trees and power lines surrounding the equipment as well, causing officials to call Eversource to deal with the arcing wires.
The three suspects will be charged in West Roxbury District Court.
