THREE young men were remanded to Simpson Penn yesterday after they allegedly set fire to a man’s property in New Providence last month.

Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr arraigned a 17-year-old and two 16-year-old boys, whose names are being withheld due to them being minors, on arson and conspiracy to commit arson.

The defendants were arraigned in the presence of their guardians.

The trio allegedly set fire to a beige single-storey wooden structure belonging to Tyrone Archer on August 19.

The accused were informed that their matter would proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).

They will be remanded to the Simpson Penn Center for Boys until their VBIs are potentially served on January 30, 2025.
