The Prince George RCMP arrested two suspects related to an arson investigation.
Police say on Thursday, they got a call about a witness seeing suspicious activity near a building on the 1100 block of Sixth Avenue.
When arriving on scene, PG Fire Rescue were actively putting out a small fire, later locating the suspects a short distance away.
Both suspects are known to police for similar events, and are being held in custody until they can attend a bail hearing.
“It is completely unnecessary to start a warming fire under any circumstance against or nearby any business, building or structure.” said RCMP Superintendent Darin Rappel.
“This is criminal behaviour, meant to cause harm. Thank you to the public in bringing this immediately to our attention, which resulted in a quick response and arrest.”Â
Police are encouraging the public to report all suspicious behaviour to police.
This file remains under investigation.
