Four more fires have been added to the list of unsolved suspicious fires that have broken out around Wellington County in the last few months.
Crime Stoppers is offering a minimum reward of $1,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in connection with the fires, most of which have occurred in Guelph/Eramosa and Puslinch.
They can be contacted at 1-800-222-8477 or via their website. The organization keeps the identities of people who have contacted it anonymous.
Many of the fires have taken place at abandoned buildings. None of them have resulted in any reported injuries.
The string of fires dates back to September 2016. Two have occurred this month, both at the same property on Concession 2 in Puslinch. According to police, a vacant home was hit on April 19 – and the debris from that fire was set on fire on Tuesday.
Wellington County OPP say they’re working with Halton Regional Police on the investigation, as there have also been suspicious fires in that area.
