GREENBELT, Md. (AP) -- Federal search warrants made public Wednesday show investigators removed computers, computers disks and other items from the homes and cars of several men accused of setting fire to a Charles County housing development in December.
Authorities executed several search warrants late last month in their probe of the fires in Indian Head that caused $10 million in damage. Six men were arrested and charged with arson.
Investigators removed two computer and dozens of CD-ROMs and floppy disks from the Accokeek home of Jeremy Parady. They also took a laptop from the van he drove for work.
At the Fort Washington home of Patrick Walsh, the alleged ringleader of the group, investigators removed computers, cameras, a video camera, lighters, a safe, spray paint and financial documents. They also found a police badge.
According to other warrants released this week, authorities also found a propane torch and a map of the Hunters Brooke housing development at the Waldorf home of another defendant, security guard Aaron Speed.
