Man charged after recycling bin fire in Melfort; house hit by vehicle on James Smith Cree Nation
Charges have been laid after last week’s fire near the Melfort provincial courthouse.
Melfort RCMP were called Aug. 14 about a man who broke two windows at two separate businesses, and lit the recycling dumpster on fire next to the Norman Vickar building on Crawford Avenue.
A 19-year-old man faces two charges of mischief under $5,000 and one count of arson.
Police were also called about a vehicle striking a house on the James Smith Cree Nation.
