A 12-year-old boy has been charged with arson after a fire tore through an Onion Lake Road home last week.

Thunder Bay police say the suspect was in foster care at the home at the time of the blaze, which cause serious damage to the home, but did not injure anyone.

The boy, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is in police custody and will be in court on Wednesday morning.
