  • One charged in arson: Surrey RCMP

Surrey R-C-M-P say a 29-year-old man has been charged with one count of arson causing property damage after a fire in the Newton neighbourhood last week.

The Mounties say they were called to help in the response to the residential structure fire, and found firefighters were detaining a man at the scene.

They did not say whether it was the same man who has now been charged.

Their suspect has also been charged with two counts of assault with a weapon and remains in custody with a court appearance set for today.
