  • Man charged in Metrotown mall arson

Mounties in Burnaby say a suspect has now been charged for an arson that happened in 2023.

Police say a 33-year-old man is accused of setting fire to a loading bay at a business in Metrotown mall in February last year.

Burnaby R-C-M-P say the fire damaged a loading bay and a commercial trailer, and investigators from the detachment’s economic crime unit got surveillance footage before identifying the suspect.

Police say the charge was approved by prosecutors back in May, and court records say the man is due in Vancouver Provincial Court on August 12th.
