Armstrong arson trial set to begin

The BC Supreme Court trial of a North Okanagan woman is expected to begin in Vernon Monday in connection with a series of suspicious fires near several Armstrong homes in March of 2018.

Colette Leneveu, 61, is charged with 10 counts of arson in relation to inhabited property.

At the time of the incidents, RCMP in Armstrong attended a number of suspicious fires.

They included garages set alight on Warner Avenue, tires lit near a garage and backyard and attempts to ignite two vehicles on Okanagan Street.
