The Irvine Police Department has been dealing with their city bus stops being targeted for damage by taggers and arsonists.
Last week, a man lit a fire in a trash can which was spotted by one of the Irvine police officers.
Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) firefighters responded and were able to quickly extinguish the fire.
The suspect admitted to lighting the trash can on fire and he was arrested for arson.
