VIDEO: "Anyone that messes with an Atlanta police officer or a member of any portion of our team there will be a reckoning."
That's the warning the Atlanta Police Department (APD) has for any criminal who targets their office.
The message comes on the heels of the arrest of two brothers, 36-year-old Wesley Wise, and 30-year-old Quinton Wise.
Quinton's booking photo has not yet been released.
The two are charged with first-degree arson.
According to officials, they hired a crackhead to set fire to two homes on Betsy Avenue. One of them belonged to an APD officer.
"The motive was they did not want a police officer living on the street where they had a trap house functioning."
Police say the brothers ran a sizable drug operation on Betsey Avenue, so they paid the crackhead to do their dirty work.
