After allegedly attempting to set another fire after a second small-time burglary on Tuesday, two St. Bernard Parish teenagers were arrested for arson and burglary for starting the fire in a parish government-owned building on Monday, according to the St. Bernard Sheriff's Office.
Michael Riedel, 18, of Violet, and Brandon Ricouard, 17, of Chalmette, allegedly were looking for money when they broke into the Victory Lane Raceway at 8540 Victory Dr. on Monday morning. The business, which leased its space from the parish government, sold and rented miniature, remote-controlled cars and held races with them inside the former Vista Park playground gym building.
