Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 29 Jul, 2024 10:19 AM
  • Walmart closes after fire

A Walmart in East Vancouver has been closed after a fire that appears to have been deliberately set Saturday caused millions of dollars of damage.

A Facebook post from the store on Grandview Highway says all employees and costumers are safe but calls the incident "shocking, dangerous and shameful."

The statement says the store will reopen as soon as possible after cleanup and repairs.

Vancouver police say major crime detectives are working with fire investigators to determine what circumstances led up to the fire.
