Fire At Capilano University 'Deliberately Set' And Now Under Investigation: Police

The Canadian Press, 02 Jan, 2015 05:35 PM
    VANCOUVER — A fire that police say was deliberately set and damaged part of a university library in B.C. is now the subject of a criminal investigation.
     
    Cpl. Richard De Jong of the North Vancouver RCMP says campus security at  Capilano University discovered an apparent break in and arson just after midnight Friday.
     
    He says the fire began in the library's administration area but the emergency sprinkler system prevented the flames from spreading.
     
    De Jong says a safe was removed from the wall and pried open but it's not yet known whether any property is missing.
     
    He says police and fire officials have determined the fire was deliberately set, and the investigation has just begun.
     
    Investigators plan to examine video surveillance as they try to identify suspects and are asking any potential witnesses to contact them.
