The suspect left the scene prior to SFS’s and SPS’s arrival. The suspect is described as a South Asian, White, or Hispanic male in their 20’s, approximately 6’ tall and having a large build. He was wearing dark-coloured clothing. It is possible he left the area in a vehicle; however, a vehicle description is currently unavailable.

SPS’s Major Crime Unit dectives, including an arson investigator, are working with Surrey Fire Services fire investigators to examine the scene and gather evidence. The investigation is in its early stages, and the motive has not been determined, S/Sgt. Houghton said.

SPS is asking anyone who might have information, or who may have witnessed the incident, including if you were driving in the area at the time and have dashcam footage, to please contact Surrey Police Service’s non-emergency number at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 26-110091 (SP)
