A man was arrested on suspicion of using a torch to set fires along Wilshire Boulevard, which prompted responses from Beverly Hills and Los Angeles police.
Authorities initially provided scant details about the incident, including the number of fires and specifics about the torch used by the suspect.
Two rubbish fires were recorded shortly before the arrest: one in the 10300 block and another near the golf course, according to a fire department spokesperson.
While the suspect has been arrested for arson, police had not yet revealed his identity as of earlyThursday afternoon, indicating ongoing investigation.
