A Nicholasville man faces arson and burglary charges in connection to a pair of fires, months apart, that happened at the same Lexington business. Gregory Casey, 30, was arrested Friday. The fires, which occurred December 26 and February 7 in the building formerly occupied by H&H Racing on Brentwood Court, off Nandino Boulevard, were both ruled arson by the Lexington Fire Department. In a complaint warrant, Lexington Police said that in the investigation following the December 26 fire, it was determined that someone broke into the business by forcing open the front door, took items from the property, and intentionally lit a fire in an attempt to destroy the building. Police said video surveillance from a neighboring business shows someone talking on a cell phone just prior to the fire.
