Was it Revenge? Two Women Arrested for Totaling Car Near Arcadia

PASADENA, CA — The motives behind the March Volvo fire that totaled the car due to a personal dispute remain unclear today. Still, the second of two women suspected of torching the car was arrested today, authorities said.

Though the suspects names were not immediately available, the arrest took place after a lengthy investigation for the alleged arson which took place on March 19.

The 2002 Volvo was set fire by use of flammable liquid on March 19 outside a residence in the area of San Gabriel Boulevard and the Foothill (210) Freeway, according to the Pasadena Fire Department.

"It was a personal dispute where they set a 2002 Volvo on fire in front of the residence, totaling the vehicle," fire department spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said.

Though the suspects were identified early on, no arrests were made until this week.

"One (suspect) turned herself in earlier this week and the other was apprehended in Los Angeles earlier today," she said.

The arrests were the result of a joint investigation by the Pasadena police and fire departments, Derderian said.
