KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP are once again appealing for surveillance video or photos of a man suspected of setting fire to a mobile home in Westsyde Wednesday (Feb. 16).

The fire at about 8:00 a.m. destroyed one unit in Warrens Mobile Home Park and damaged another.

Surveillance video from the scene captured images of a suspect.

Description:

  • White man
  • Pushing a dark-coloured mountain bike
  • Wearing a light-coloured mask, dark clothing and a backpack covered by a blue and beige/grey jacket

“We are asking anyone with dashcams, security or doorbell cameras to please have a look at any recordings from yesterday morning to see if it captured anyone that could be the suspect,” said Cst. Crystal Evelyn.

“Just really think back to yesterday morning. Did someone you recognize bike off in a hurry? Did someone show up at your house or your neighbour’s house wearing similar clothing as the suspect? While officers continue to conduct neighbourhood inquiries, these are some of the questions the public can ask themselves to assist police in moving forward.”
