Bail set for teens accused in arson incidents

Posted: Updated:
SPRINGFIELD, MA (WSHM) -

A bail hearing was held this morning for the six teens accused of setting fires in the City of Springfield.

Lawyers waived the appearances of their clients in court today.

Police arrested eight teens last week in connection with three arson cases. Two of them are minors.

There had been nearly a dozen reports of arson over the last few weeks. In multiple fires Molotov cocktails, homemade gas bombs, were used in the Forest Park section of the city.

Police haven't confirmed if these teens are believed to be responsible for all of the fires.

Bail was set for each of the six suspects ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 cash.

A pretrial conference is set for Aug. 29.
