A man has appeared in court facing five charges of wilful fire-raising in Levenmouth.
Aaron Ednie appeared in private at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court yesterday.
The 21-year-old made no plea and was released on bail.
He is expected to reappear at a later date.
Police Scotland confirmed the arrest on Monday after investigating a series of fires in the Methil and Leven area between November 2017 and July 2018.
Chief Inspector Steven Hamilton, Local Area Commander for North East Fife said: “Starting fires deliberately can cause catastrophic damage to property, along with serious, or potential fatal, injuries.
“We know that these sort of incidents cause fear and alarm to the local community and we are committed to working with our partners across the Kingdom to tackle this sort of antisocial behaviour.
“I’d like to thank the public for their support during our enquiries and reassure the local community that behaviour such as this will not be tolerated.”
