Four men were arrested and charged Friday for another Molotov cocktail attack against a family’s home on 112th Street in Ozone Park, police said.
Simeon Seecharan, 18, of 123-07 116th Ave.; Crishna Singh, 18, of 104-21 128th St.; Isaac Mann, 18, of 105-35 135th St.; and a 15-year-old boy were charged with attempted arson, said Carmen Melendez, a police spokeswoman.
Last week, Devandra Persaud, 22, of 123rd Street was also charged in the attacks.
On March 2 and March 6, just after midnight, Molotov cocktails were thrown against the house of Anand Nath on 112th Street. The firebombs bounced off the front window and self-extinguished in the front yard. There were no injuries in either attack, police had reported.
Nath videotaped both attacks with a newly installed surveillance camera. He turned the tape over to investigators, which led them to Persaud.
The arson attacks stemmed from Persaud’s disapproval of his younger sister’s involvement with Nath’s 16-year old son, a fire marshal spokesman said. However, Nath said the two teenagers were not romantically involved.
Mann, one of the men most recently charged with the arson attempts, came to police attention Friday night during a separate robbery investigation in Astoria.
Officers in the Queens Robbery and Patrol Squad observed a vehicle involved in a pattern in which Asian delivery men were robbed while delivering food. Mann, along with Imran Hoosain, 19, of 104-67 128 St., and Hemraj Singh, 17, of 94-30 80th St., was arrested.
During the debriefing, a suspect revealed knowledge of the Ozone Park arson attacks, Melendez said.
