91大黄鸭 RCMP say they now have a video that shows an early morning fire Thursday, behind a downtown building, was deliberately set. And they have apprehended a suspect

A high quality video, turned over to police, has allowed investigators to observe what police believe to show a woman as she deliberately sets a fire at the rear of a business, early Thursday morning in 91大黄鸭鈥檚 downtown core, said RCMP spokesman Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey

On Thursday, at 5:53 a.m., the 91大黄鸭 RCMP received a request to assist the 91大黄鸭 Fire Department, who were responding to a report of a garbage fire against the back wall of a building in the 400-block of Leon Avenue in downtown 91大黄鸭.

鈥淟ate Thursday, RCMP investigators were provided with video surveillance footage which appeared to show the alleged arson incident in its entirety,鈥 said O鈥橠onaghey.

Upon reviewing the footage, police were able to positively identify the suspect as a woman known to them.

鈥淩CMP have since taken that suspect into police custody,鈥 adds Cpl. O鈥橠onaghey.

The 26-year-old 91大黄鸭 woman of no fixed address, faces potential charges. She remains in police custody at this time and is expected to appear in Court on January 12th.
