Police seek suspect after three suspicious fires in West Kelowna

West Kelowna RCMP are looking for a suspect believed to be connected to three suspicious fires set early Saturday morning.

Police say firefighters were called around 4:25 a.m. July 18 after a portable toilet caught fire at a park in the 3100-block of Shannon Lake Road. The flames spread to a nearby structure before being brought under control.

Investigators later learned a gazebo in the same park had also been set on fire. Witnesses reported seeing a suspicious man leaving the area, described as tall, wearing dark clothing and having unusual-looking hair.

A short time later, another fire was reported near Old Okanagan Highway. Police believe the grass fire was also intentionally set and say all three incidents are connected.
