MISSION – Police in Mission are investigating a pair of incidents in which gas lines were tampered with last Sunday afternoon, one at a construction site where a new apartment building is being erected.
RCMP say the initial episode happened around 2 p.m. near 2nd Avenue and Welton Street after a gas leak was reported and a modified gas line was discovered.
A subsequent search around the building turned up a pair of small fires, with multiple sink and bathroom faucets left running – flooding several floors of the building.
Thermostats and ovens in several units within the complex had also been turned on, say police.
