Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S. - 16 partially or recently constructed luxury homes have been intentionally burned down in southeast Charlotte, western Union County, and Lancaster County, South Carolina since 2001. Authorities have yet to find who is responsible for the fires, but now believe that radical environmentalists may be behind the arsons. The most recent development to go up in smoke was a $3.5 million mansion destroyed Monday evening, see pictures below.

The fire at 8407 Winged Bourne Drive, south Charlotte, started about 7:30 p.m. in a second floor hallway and spread quickly, shooting flames hundreds of feet into the air. The three-story mansion off Gleneagles Road near Quail Hollow Club had plywood floors and studded walls and was about 60% complete. By Tuesday investigators had ruled out all possible accidental causes.
“The only difference is this burned during daylight,” said Charlotte's Chief Fire Investigator David Lowery said, declining to elaborate.
