MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Investigators think an arsonist torched a mansion on Lake Minnetonka’s shoreline.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports the fire in the village of Minnetonka Beach was reported just before midnight Monday. Police arrived to find the 6,320-square-foot mansion’s second floor engulfed in flames.
Fire officials said two residents were outside and taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
Police said as the house burned authorities received a report of someone with gas and candles. No one has been arrested. Long Lake Fire Chief James Van Eyll said the home is a total loss. Property records show it was assessed in January 2020 at almost $3.4 million.
