(ANAMOSA) -- Investigators say a fire last month in Anamosa was set on purpose.
The flames broke out early in the morning on June 26th in a vacant apartment above the Anamosa Bowling Center.
That's located at 113 North Ford Street.
Police say they also determined a string of vehicle thefts are related.
21-year-old Caleb Dowell of Monticello faces several charges stemming from the crimes in Anamosa including first degree arson.
He also faces additional charges in Jones County and Monticello.
