Round Lake Beach police and firefighters responded to a blaze at the former Regal Cinemas, located at 550 E. Rollins Rd., at 8:20 p.m. on Saturday. Police say the fire caused significant damage to the interior of the building. After it was put out, investigators determined the fire was set intentionally. David Dolan, 19, and Anthony Shields, 20, were arrested at their home in Lake Villa on Sunday.
