Nineteen incidents of arson were reported early Friday morning across Los Angeles, with four occurring in the city of West Hollywood, which is known as the L.A.'s gay area.

Police are scouring the area for any video evidence captured by businesses or buildings to identify the perpetrator or perpetrators of the fires, theLos Angeles Times reports. The fires occurred within blocks each other, mostly to cars, carports and trash, L.A. Fire Department spokesman Eric Scott told the Times.

Samuel Arrington, 22, was arrested in connection with three fires in the area, Thursday morning. Police are now also investigating whether the 19 fires on Friday are connected to Arrington's alleged fires.
