Investigators are looking for leads after a fire destroyed the Red Rock weigh scales on Christmas Eve.
The fire at the HIghway 97 South spot was reported to police around 6:20 a.m. Dec. 24.
The Prince George RCMP are now treating this case as suspicious and are looking for any help in identifying possible suspects or information that may lead to an arrest.
First responders arriving at the location noted two pickup trucks leaving the vicinity of the fire. However, they were not able to obtain any license plate information to provide to investigators.
“Police officers are also looking into orange spray-paint graffiti on a nearby sea-can that was, according to employees at the location, not there the previous day," states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer for the Prince George RCMP. "The graffiti reads, 'good job McCreadie.' Police believe it may be related to several recent impaired driving investigations and that the graffiti and the arson are connected.”
Investigators are hoping that dash cam footage from travellers passing on Highway 97 may shed some light on possible suspects fleeing the scene before it was reported to the police.
If you have information relating to this investigation, call the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line at 250-561-3321 to speak with an investigator.
