Police are appealing for the public's help after a suspicious fire burned down a garden shed.
The fire was reported just after 1 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 29 in the 8100 block of Lucas Road in central Richmond.
The residents of the splitlevel property were kept out of their home while the fire in the backyard was put out. They did, however, return within a few hours.
Richmond RCMP say the fire is suspicious and its serious crime unit has been interviewing the residents and neighbours in an attempt to locate possible witnesses.
No one was injured in the fire and police have no suspects at this time. Anyone with information is asked to call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212.
Senior missing Richmond RCMP is seeking the public's help in finding a missing 69-year-old man.
Wayne Harder was last seen on Boxing Day at about 10 a.m. Harder lives in a care facility on Southdale Road in Richmond and is known to hang out at Richmond Centre shopping mall.
However, staff at the care facility say he usually returns after a few hours. He is described as six feet, three inches tall and weighs 183 pounds.
He was last seen wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and brown shoes. Harder is on medication for schizophrenia and usually returns home after a few hours, which makes his overnight disappearance unusual.
Anyone with information as to his whereabouts should contact Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or call Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
