A 20-year-old King Island man has been arrested in relation to a fire on Sunday morning.
The fire destroyed Currie's Barr's Store, which housed the island's only chemist.
Last night, Western CIB detectives and King Island police searched a home at Currie, later arresting and charging the man.
He is charged with arson, burglary and stealing, and will appear in court on the island later today.
Detective Acting Inspector Richard Chugg said: ''The timely manner in which the offender was identified was in no small part due to the efforts of local Police and the excellent assistance provided by the King Island community."
