At 12:30 a.m., a witness called police after he saw a man break the window of a van parked on the street, light a piece of paper on fire and toss it inside.
The white Mitsubishi Delica soon became engulfed in flames and was destroyed, said police spokesman Sgt. Grant Hamilton.
The vehicle was worth about $10,000, he said.
The witness gave police officers a description and police arrested a 24-year-old man a few blocks away.
Hamilton said the man had been drinking and did not know the owner of the van.
