Search continues for second suspect in ‘suspicious’ Calgary fires

‘The suspect is believed to have been travelling by foot and may have been with two other individuals,’ said police

Calgary police are looking for another suspect in relation to several fires in the southeast community of Riverbend last month.

Around 12:40 a.m. on Aug. 22, police were called to a residence in the 100 block of Riverglen Crescent S.E. for reports of a fire.

Upon arrival, officers determined the fire had destroyed a garage and caused damage to two residences. No injuries were reported.

Police believe two additional “nuisance” fires were set to recycling bins in the back alley of the 0 to 100 block of River Valley Crescent S.E., and the 100 block of River Valley Crescent S.E.

“The suspect is believed to have been travelling by foot and may have been with two other individuals,” it read.

Described as a teen with a fair complexion, the suspect was last seen wearing a grey and white camouflage patterned hooded sweater, black shorts, an army-green satchel and light-brown or green Croc shoes, said police.

Police also released a photo of the suspect, with the teen’s face blurred as per provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
