Timberlea arson was targeted, says RCMP
The RCMP says they believe the recent string of arsons in Timberlea are targeted.
A second home was destroyed over the weekend in the 400 block of Marketway Lane due to arson just days after another home was burned on the same street.
Cpl. Mandy Edwards says they are investigating.
“We are concerned that our community members are not feeling safe right now, and we take that to heart,” says Edwards.
“We are doing everything in our power that we can find out who’s responsible.”
Edwards says police have increased patrols through there, with marked and unmarked cars. Edwards says she could not explain how often the patrols are happening for security reasons.
On top of that, Edwards adds that multiple officers are exploring “a number of investigational tasks” so far.
“And it’s important to remember that sometimes our investigative tactics are not visible like day-to-day police work.”
She says they are relying on people in the area to report any strange things they see, like cars or suspicious people.
The investigation continues.
