GRANDORA, Sask. – Stolen goods have been found at the location of a house fire that happened west of Saskatoon on Tuesday. Warman RCMP got word of the fire around 7 a.m. in Grandora, Sask.
Officers arrived to find the house engulfed in flames. The blaze was put out by crews from the Asquith Fire Department, but the house was destroyed.
A search of the property turned up numerous stolen items including a spool of copper wire and a stolen truck that was being dismantled. Investigators believe the fire was started by someone attempting to melt copper in the house’s fireplace.
That person fled before the authorities arrived and police are now looking for a Saskatoon man. No charges have been laid and his name has not been released.
