Today, I wrote about how a masked coward lit gasoline on fire at an inner city church in Regina (link below) and now this!
BC’s well loved Chilcotin Log Church has been destroyed by a suspicious fire.
More to come https://t.co/Gi9Wj4LxWc pic.twitter.com/q8mvy6XPsu
The man was seen in the video wearing a surgical face mask, white baseball cap, dark grey jacket, and black shorts.
Police are hoping to speak with the driver of a beige or silver minivan which was also spotted in the area at the time.
