An Enfield teen is being held on $750,000 bond following his arrest on a first-degree arson charge in connection with the string of arsons that struck fear in the residents of the Hazardville neighborhood of Enfield.

Davidson Izzo, 16, of 390 Elm St., who’s also a suspect in the other neighborhood fires, was arrested March 3 and is being held in lieu of $750,000, according to The Journal Inquirer.
