A reward is being offered for information that leads to conviction for arson at the Somersville Mill in Somers.
State police have arrested three people in connection with a fire set at the Somersville Mill in Somers.
Fire broke out early on the Saturday morning of June 2 at the mill at 40 Maple Street that spun fabric until 1969.
The fire was so intense that crews from across the state and Massachusetts responded to assist. All that remains of the building now is a metal skeleton.
Arrested Monday were Wesley Hall, 20, and Christopher Jackson, 21, both of Enfield, and Erin Houle, 23, of Indian Orchard, Mass.
According to police, Houle turned herself in at 9 a.m. Monday and was briefly held on a $5,000 bond. She appeared in Rockville Superior Court and was released on a promise to appear.
Hall and Jackson turned themselves in 12 p.m. and were released after posting $5,000 bond each.
All three suspects are scheduled to be in court Oct. 1.
