Police in Pennsylvania have arrested a suspect in connection to two separate arson fires at the same church earlier this week.
Wilmer J. Ortiz Torres, 43, was arrested Friday and charged with arson, burglary and criminal trespass in the two fires that occurred between Tuesday and Thursday at the Iglesia Pentecostal de Bethlehem, police said in a statement.
Although the fire had already burned itself out by the time firefighters arrived, heavy smoke could be seen emanating from the building and firefighters had to vent the building to allow the smoke to escape. There were no injuries reported and the damage appeared to be due mostly to smoke, soot and heat.
“You know, it makes us cry,” she continued. “We were talking about homelessness before. This feels like homelessness. Where do we go to worship? This is our house of worship.”
