SURREY, B.C. – Police are investigating a suspicious fire at the site of a Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C.
RCMP Staff Sgt. Murray Hedderson says a 911 caller reported the blaze at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday after seeing three youths flee the area.
The witness told police the teens appeared to be about 16 and that one was seen on a scooter and another was carrying a red gas can.
Hedderson says the witness also reported that two of the youths wore dark hoodies and another donned a red hoodie.
He says the fire was set to an unoccupied, older temple that now serves as storage space and that worshippers currently use a newer structure on the site.
Hedderson says firefighters extinguished the blaze and that it will take several weeks before the results of an investigation are available.
