VANCOUVER — A 51-year-old man has been charged with four counts of arson causing property damage and remanded into custody after he allegedly lit fires in the downtown Vancouver core earlier this week.
In a statement from the Vancouver PD Friday, Curtis Rabochenko, 51, has been charged with four counts of arson causing damage to property.
Charges against the suspected arsonist were approved following a Vancouver Police investigation into a series of fires that were deliberately set earlier this week.
Four arsons were lit in the downtown core during the overnight hours between Monday, March 27 and Tuesday, March 28. A VPD investigation was initiated immediately and evidence revealed the same suspect was responsible for all four fires.
