Police are investigating a suspected arson in Coldstream Tuesday morning.

Vernon North Okanagan RCMP said officers were on patrol in the 11000-block of Kalamalka Lake Road at around 3:30 a.m. when they came across an SUV on fire.

Police used extinguishers from their vehicle to knock down the flames, and Coldstream Fire Department crews were called in to the scene and successfully extinguished the rest of the blaze.

Once the fire was out police surveyed the scene and found a total of four vehicles had been vandalized, including two that had sustained fire damage.

“The cause of the fire has not been determined; however, evidence at the scene indicates it was intentionally set,” Constable Chris Terleski, Media Relations Officer for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP, said.
