RCMP in the North Okanagan are hoping to speak to a man who was on the scene of a suspicious fire.

It broke out in the early morning hours of April 14 in the 2900 block of 31st Street in Vernon.
 

When officers arrived on scene, a man was trying to extinguish the flames that had engulfed a number of pallets.

Before the RCMP had a chance to speak to that man, he left the area.

“Other witnesses on scene advised police that the male left the area driving a BMW,” says Cst. Kelly Brett.

“The North Okanagan RCMP are looking to speak to this male to gather further information for their investigation at this time.”

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or knows the driver of the BMW is asked to contact the North Okanagan RCMP at 250-545-7171.
