ROSEVILLE, CA – December 15th 2025 — “CAL FIRE Law Enforcement, in partnership with the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, announced today the arrest of a Roseville man in connection with a months-long joint investigation following five arson fires set in August of this year.
Mohmmad Ikram Rahim, 21, of Roseville, was located near his home and taken into custody. He was booked into the South Placer Jail on an outstanding arrest warrant for five counts of 451 PC – arson.
The arrest was the culmination of an extensive and coordinated investigation conducted by CAL FIRE Law Enforcement and the Placer County Sheriff’s Office. On August 4, 2025, CAL FIRE and PCSO responded to a series of five wildland fires set in the Ophir area of Placer County.

Their collaborative efforts ultimately led to Rahim’s identification and his successful arrest this morning.
Authorities emphasize that arson poses a serious threat to public safety, property, and natural resources. CAL FIRE Law Enforcement and the Placer County Sheriff’s Office remain committed to holding individuals accountable for crimes that endanger our communities.
