Three weeks ago, the Heilig Myers store went up in flames. Thursday, police charged two boys with setting a nearby fire that spread to the building. Investigators say 17-year-old Gary Harris and a 15-year old juvenile are responsible for the arson.
Harris is charged with one count of burning a store building, one count of burning personal property, one count of injury to real property and four counts of injury to personal property. The juvenile faces one count of burning a store building, one count of damage to personal property and one count of damage to real property.
Harris is free on $10,000 bond. He will appear in court next month. The juvenile was released to the custody of his parents.
