GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) - Police say two juveniles have been identified through surveillance video in connection with a huge fire at a Gilbert condominium construction site two months ago.

The Oct. 15 fire caused destroyed eight buildings at the Via Sorento condominiums and damage estimates were estimated at more than $10 million.

About two dozen people in the area had to be evacuated for one night due to high carbon monoxide levels.



Days after the fire, investigators say it appeared the blaze was deliberately set.

Gilbert police say the two juveniles detained are the same ones seen in surveillance video released from the scene last month.

Their names haven’t been released.

Police say both juveniles have been interviewed and charges have been submitted for review to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.
