PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – A criminal investigation is underway after the leasing office and a unit at a large Pembroke Park apartment complex were set on fire Tuesday morning.

Neighbors say a disgruntled resident is responsible for both fires.

Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue and BSO deputies responded just before 9 a.m. to the Pembroke Gardens apartment complex, which includes multiple buildings near the 3700 block of Southwest 52nd Avenue.

A golf cart inside the leasing office was among the items set ablaze. The building was evacuated as the fire was extinguished, authorities said.

Multiple residents say the woman who lives in the unit that was on fire was behind it. Neighbors say they saw her walking from her unit toward the leasing office with two bags that may have contained incendiary materials.

Detectives have not confirmed that but BSO said that a female “subject in question was located and detained for questioning.”

Fire investigators and BSO deputies are investigating the potential arson. The State Fire Marshal’s Office was also notified.
