Suspicious fire at a Nanaimo home

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 10 Jul, 2023 12:42 PM
  • Suspicious fire at a Nanaimo home

Two people in Nanaimo are unhurt but their home has smoke damage after what R-C-M-P say was a suspicious fire.

It happened early yesterday morning south of Nanaimo in the Cinnabar Valley neighbourhood.

Police say the home wasn't structurally damaged but they say it has been a "source of concern" for some time, due to suspected squatting and drug use.

There are reports that two people were seen running from the house at the same time the fire was set and investigators want to speak to anyone who might have information about the case.
