Manitoba RCMP are on the search for an arson suspect after a structure fire at a Swan River business Thursday morning.
Officers were called to the scene at a Main Street business at around 5:20 a.m., where they say extensive smoke was coming from the building.
A preliminary investigation, with the help of a fire investigator, has led police to determine the fire was deliberately set. Video surveillance footage from the area, police said, shows a man on a bike passing the property just before the fire started.
