Rural Municipality of Morris business, targeted again, badly damaged in arson

A rural business was set ablaze early Friday, less than a month after someone  smashed a front-end loader into it and tried to set the building on fire.

RCMP were sent to the business on Road 6 West in the Rural Municipality of Morris at 2 a.m. after wooden pallets near the building were intentionally set on fire, causing extensive damage.

Early on Oct. 10, someone drove a loader through the front door. Officers found containers filled with diesel fuel on pallets that were on a forklift. It appears someone had unsuccessfully tried to set the building on fire, Manitoba RCMP said previously.

Police asked anyone with information about the incident to call the Morris RCMP detachment at 204-746-2323 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
