PEACE RIVER, Alta. — RCMP in Peace River, Alta are investigating a suspected case of arson last month.
Just before 1:30 on June 23, police were called to Cessna Road for reports of a business fire.
RCMP say security footage shows a small car leaving the parking lot shortly after a bright light, later learned to be the fire, is seen in the distance.
Investigators say a bottle of diesel fluid was found at the scene, and they believe it was used to saturate the ground below two large garage bay doors in order to light them on fire.
The fire did not spread beyond the immediate area.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
