Two teenage boys are in custody and accused of starting a fire inside a Covington Walmart on Sunday evening.
Deputies from St. Tammany Parish and the State Fire Marshal's office arrested the boys, ages 17 and 15, on Monday.
The fire destroyed a row of automotive products, and the sprinkler system soaked the entire store, as about 200 customers evacuated.
The boys are charged with aggravated arson, conspiracy to commit aggravated arson, and the manufacture and possession of a delayed-action incendiary device.
