They add officers are also looking into orange spray-paint graffiti on a nearby sea-can which reads “good job McCreadie”, that employees stated wasn’t there the previous day.

It’s believed to be related to several recent impaired driving investigations, and that the graffiti and arson are connected.

Anyone with information or have dash cam footage that caught people or vehicles approaching or leaving the area before the fire is asked to call the Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3321.
