Dorothee Burkhart

Harry Burkhart Dept: Harry Burkhart, 24, was charged Wednesday with 37 counts of arson for deliberately setting at least 50 fires, torching cars, garages and homes in Los Angeles and reportedly causing about $3 million in damages, according to Montreal Gazette. The story of how Dorothee Burkhart and her son ended up in L.A. begins with their arrival in Canada in September 2007 and the mother of a former Vancouver man facing charges in the U.S. for a multi-million-dollar arson spree at one time pleaded to Canadian immigration officials to allow her and her son to stay in this country. Burkhart was arrested during a routine traffic stop while driving a minivan with British Columbia licence plates. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
