Richmond RCMP is looking for a serial arsonist after recording 15 similar fires since January 2020. "Evidence at the scene, together with the nature of the blaze, suggest this fire was intentionally set," said Richmond RCMP in a statement. PatternRCMP said the fires appear to have been set by a serial arsonist because of similarities between all of them. In April, Richmond RCMP say it created a task force and increased targeted patrols to find who is responsible. But Richmond RCMP is asking for information from anyone who can assist in identifying the person, or persons, responsible," said Insp.
