Toronto police have arrested and charged Roshvin Crofton, 24, in connection with an arson incident involving multiple vehicles torched outside the home of Scarborough Centre MP Salma Zahid. The alleged attack occurred on August 27, with an unknown suspect reportedly pouring accelerant onto two cars in the driveway before setting them ablaze. A third vehicle was damaged by the flames. Crofton faces charges including arson causing property damage, mischief over $5,000, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, possession of incendiary material, and failure to comply with probation. Authorities are also seeking a second suspect and investigating where the alleged weapon used in the attack was located prior to the incident. Zahid expressed relief at the arrest but emphasized that the motive remains unclear. The incident has drawn condemnation from political figures, including Prime Minister Mark Carney. Police have not disclosed details about the suspect's identity or potential motives, stating the investigation is ongoing.
