On Feb 12, at 5:25 p.m., a report of a burnt abandoned pickup was received by the RCMP. The truck was found by Hidden Valley Rd. near the gravel pit. The police attended the scene and determined that a 2007, D3500, Dodge, dually pickup had been totally destroyed by the arson.
The owner of the truck was out of the country on a cruise at the time. Upon his return from vacation the owner stated he had left the vehicle at South City Auto for repairs on February 8, with the keys in drop box. He left for vacation on February 9.
