MIDDLEBORO, Mass. -- Three teens face arson charges Thursday in connection with the fire that destroyed the Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall in Middleboro.
Officials said the fire broke out about 8 p.m. Wednesday night, and took about an hour to bring under control -- but not before it burned down the 44-year-old building on Wareham Street.
Witnesses told police they saw three young men leaving the scene of the fire, and the three were arrested a short time later.
No injuries were reported.
The three teens are to appear in Wareham Juvenile Court on arson charges.
Police said they have no evidence the fire was a hate crime.
