A Yonkers man has admitted to a scheme to burn down his house to collect more than $1 million in insurance.
The Westchester District Attorney's Office says Majid Haddad has pleaded guilty to conspiracy, arson and insurance fraud.
Prosecutors say he hired a man to buy gasoline and showed him how to light the fire using a cigarette and matches. The home on Odell Avenue went up in flames in 2021.
Haddad faces six months in jail and five years' probation.
