Chilliwack RCMP is hoping surveillance-video footage will lead to the arrest of an arsonist who set an occupied trailer ablaze last week.
The incident happened around 5 a.m. on Feb. 4 in the 9000-block of Garden Drive.
In the video, a person can be seen lighting what is believed to be a Molotov cocktail and then throwing it at a trailer.
The RCMP responded to the fire but didn’t locate a suspect.
“Very fortunately the occupant of the trailer was not injured,” said RCMP Const. Keven Biagioni.
Police are asking witnesses who may have spotted someone or something unusual in the neighbourhood that morning to come forward.
“In particular, investigators are requesting the operator of a vehicle driving through the neighbourhood near the time of the incident to contact us,” said Biagioni.
Anyone with information can contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
