Original Story:
The Prince George RCMP has made an arrest following Friday’s fire at Crossroad’s Downtown location.
“Our Investigative Support Team was diligently working throughout the weekend to process the evidence collected on this investigation and have arrested 57-year-old Richard Titchener in relation to this event,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper.
According to police, Titchener has been charged with arson causing damage to property, and will remain in custody until his next court appearance.
At around 2:30 early Friday morning, PG Fire Rescue Crews were called to Crossroads, and spent much of the day extinguishing the blaze.
No injuries were reported, and there is still no estimate as to the cost of the damage.
