RCMP investigate arson incident after an excavator was torched

On Wednesday September 3, 2014 at 7:00 am, Campbell River RCMP responded to a complaint of an arson to property out on the Elk River Main at the 11 km marker.
An Hitachi excavator belonging to a company out working on a bridge was torched and a second Cat excavator was tampered with.  The Hitachi has significant damage and is a loss to the company.
The trees around the Hitachi were burned and thankfully didn’t cause a forest fire in the still dry conditions. Campbell River RCMP Forensic Identification Section and the arson investigator attended and processed the scene and evidence has been collected for analysis.
If you have any information about this crime, please contact the Campbell River RCMP at 250-286-6221 or if you wish to remain anonymous, please contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)
