Surrey RCMP is investigating an arson at an apartment building in the Guildford area and requesting anyone with information contact police.

On February 8, 2022, at 3:06 a.m., Surrey Fire Service notified Surrey RCMP that they were responding to the report of a fire at an apartment building located the 10600-block of 150 Street.
