A $10,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest of whoever torched an Aldergrove clothing store last autumn.
On Nov. 29, 2017, someone set fire to the Mark’s Work Wearhouse location in the Aldergrove Village Mall.
Now the owner has offered a reward.
“We are offering the reward to encourage anyone with information on the burglary and arson to come forward,” said Mark’s Aldergrove owner Adam Bekar. “The Mark’s in Aldergrove is a small business, locally owned and operated. The arson has had a significant impact on our employees, neighbouring businesses, and the Aldergrove community at large. We are hopeful that someone with information will come forward to assist the RCMP in their investigation.”
The fire caused direct damage to a storage room at the back, but heavy smoke damage spread throughout the building, as well as to two neighbourhing businesses. A significant amount of clothing was destroyed or damaged, and windows and doors were broken.
Police are asking the public to take a close look at a photo of a Pontiac Grand Am SE with a broken window.
“This is a vehicle of interest in our investigation,” said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Lagnley RCMP.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200, or to remain anonymous, leave a tip with CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or at www.solvecrime.ca.
