CASTLEGAR – Police in Castlegar, B.C., are investigating after an unknown man allegedly set fire to a red fuel can on the porch of a home on Thursday and threw a Molotov cocktail through the front window.
A statement from the RCMP says the homeowner attempted to extinguish the flames, while another resident called 911.
Police say the local fire department was able to put out the flames and contain the fire inside the home to one room.
Investigators are asking residents in the 1200-block of 1st Avenue to review their surveillance cameras for any images of two suspicious men between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursday.
The men are described as wearing dark clothes and black face coverings.
Police are also asking drivers who were travelled northbound on Columbia Avenue around the same time of the alleged attack to check their dashcams for a white SUV or longer-type sedan with tinted front windows.
