A Laguna Beach retiree has been arrested on suspicion of arson in connection with up to 10 fires in the city, police said Saturday.
Witnesses saw Graysen Langille, 56, near at least nine of the fires, they said.
Langille set fire to trash cans, wood pallets and paper at various times and places, police said.
The fires caused no injuries, and damage was minor, authorities said.
Detectives began surveillance of Langille on Friday after he was seen entering a carport in the 900 block of Gaviota Drive where a small fire was set.
Langille was taken to Orange County Jail, where he was being held in lieu of $20,000 bail.
