A suspect facing an arson charge following a fire in Inverness Co. has entered a guilty plea.
Blaze Anthony Basker, 46, pleaded guilty during an election-and-plea hearing in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court Monday.
Basker is scheduled to return to court for sentencing Sept. 9.
Police say officers responded to a boat on fire at a Cheticamp business in December.
They say they investigated, and determined the fire was deliberately set.
No one was hurt.
