  • Woman pleads guilty to Richmond arson

Richmond Mounties say a woman has pleaded guilty to arson causing damage to property in relation to a series of more than 20 fires. 

R-C-M-P say the fires occurred between January and August 2020 and primarily involved bushes, hedges and garbage cans in residential areas.

Police say they struck a task force that linked additional fires to the same suspect, who they arrested in July 2021.

They say the woman pleaded guilty last month.
