After a significant fire inside the Real Canadian Superstore in Mission on the night of October 22, Mission RCMP released an image of a man they wanted to identify and speak with in relation to the fire.

That man has now come forward and is cooperating with the investigation. The Mission RCMP would like to thank the media and the public for their willingness to assist with this investigation.

Police can now also update that the fire has been confirmed to be an arson. Although it may seem obvious that a fire in a toilet paper aisle must have been intentionally set, investigators needed time to confirm there was no other possible source of ignition – such as from an electrical fault. The investigation is ongoing and police are continuing to review various sources of evidence.

Anyone with more information who has not yet spoken with police is asked to contact Mission RCMP.
