As they continue their investigation, Kamloops RCMP are looking for a person possibility related to a fire that happened in the Valleyview neighbourhood.
Around 3:12 a.m. on Saturday, Mar. 30, officers received reports of a possible arson in which several hedges were on fire behind a property on the 2000-block of the East Trans Canada Highway.
“Earlier this week, on April 4, investigators connected with the property representative and viewed video of the incident captured by security cameras,” said Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn. “The video captured footage of a man who is known to frequent the area, standing behind the hedges as they went up in flames, at approximately 1:35 a.m.”
It’s believed the person collected his backpack and left the scene on foot, heading westbound.
The person is a man with a thin build and wearing:
- A red hat;
- Tan pants;
- Dark hoodie;
- Black and white shoes;
- A red and black backpack.
Anyone with any information in relation to the investigation is to call the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 with the file number 2024-9219.
