A Kenner restaurant owner was caught on videotape setting fire to a competitor's restaurant one block away, police said Tuesday.
Mae Fong, 74, 2225 Florida Ave., Kenner, will be booked with arson of Young's Garden Chinese Restaurant at 2037 Williams Blvd.
Fong's Chinese & Cantonese Restaurant is at 2101 Williams Blvd., just across 21st Street from Young's.
Police Chief Steve Caraway said Fong was caught on video surveillance approaching Young's on Oct. 2 after 3 a.m., about the time a liquid accelerant was used to start the fire.
The video was "extremely valuable" in solving the crime, Caraway said. "It's hard to refute that type of evidence."
