Bed-Stuy landlord Lalbahadour Byjoo is accused of conspiring with another man, Jean St. Fleur, to burn down a building he owns at 304-A Sumpter Street in order to get rid of squatters. Fortunately for the alleged squatters, the person he contracted to set the fire turned out to be an undercover detective. Byjoo met with the detective, told him how to bypass the security cameras, and gave him $100 for gasoline, later giving the order to "torch" the building. Byjoo and St. Fleur are also accused of stealing two other Brooklyn properties with forged documents. [DNAinfo, via Gawker]
