Police have arrested Kena Young-Wilson, whom they suspect of starting a fire in a Chatham County Wal-Mart last month then leaving with a basketful of stolen goods.
Young, 33, of the 700 block of East 37th Street, was taken into custody at her job about 12:30 p.m. Monday, said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman. She was charged with first degree arson, terroristic threats, giving false statements and shoplifting.
Police say the alleged crimes occurred about noon on Aug. 20 at the Wal-Mart at 6000 Ogeechee Road.
Miller said tips from the public to CrimeStoppers led to Young’s arrest. Police had previously asked for the public’s help identifying her.
