Arson investigations continue, multiple suspects identified and arrested
June 4, 2026 - City of Prince George, British Columbia

File #2026-14448, 2026-15537, 2026-16676
Three recent fire investigations have been confirmed as arson, and Prince George RCMP has made several recent arrests in relation to two of the incidents.
The first fire occurred on Sunday, May 10, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. on the 1700-block of Third Avenue. Fortunately, in this instance the property damage was minimal as the fire was detected shortly after it was started. Police officers continue to collect information to help determine a suspect in this investigation.
The second fire occurred on Monday, May 18, 2026, near the 1200-block of Fourth Avenue. Police officers were able to determine a suspect by watching available video surveillance from the area, who has since been arrested and released
on an Undertaking with a future court date.
The third fire occurred on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, just before 8:30 a.m. near the 2100block Norwood Street and was quickly determined to be suspicious in nature. Witnesses at the location stated they observed three people running away from the area; police officers located three individuals matching the description a short way away and arrested all three for arson. All three were released on Undertakings with future court dates.
“Currently, there is no indication these fires are related,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for Prince George RCMP. “We would like to extend our thanks to all those who have provided video surveillance and information regarding these incidents; these types of investigations rely on members of the public coming forward with information quickly and is what has helped us effect arrests in many of the recent arson investigations.”
The investigations remain ongoing.

TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)
It may be difficult to see the best decisions to make, especially if you feel there are too many hidden aspects. The more you look into something, the more you may feel there is to know or the details might seem overwhelming. For this reason it might be best to let things float along for now rather than make rushed decisions.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
You could feel it is best to go along with what someone else wants, mainly because you can see they are determined to do things in a manner that suits them. It may not be that important right now or cause great difficulty but you will remember this for another time. It will enable you to be better prepared for any future surprises.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
By approaching a situation that requires some sort of structure in a different way you could please other people. This could involve home and family situations but no necessarily. It might mean that you have taken notice of the way somebody else has had success in a similar situation. It might take you a little time to adjust.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
You will be afforded the opportunity to do things your way, which can be very pleasing, but at the same time you have to be prepared to deal with the details. This may not be as simple as you imagine. If you realise this quickly enough you will be able to get matters in place that will more than satisfy the circumstances.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
You could be feeling very differently about yourself now that Uranus has settled in your sign. Being determined about greater freedom of choice could be one aspect, especially when it comes to what you want to aim towards in the more long term future. The cost of such things might be the hurdle that you will need to deal with.
VIRGO (August 23-Sept.22)
Taking a different approach with something you need to deal with on a regular basis could make a big difference when it comes to the amount of work or responsibilities attached. You can be successful in bypassing any pressure coming from the expectations of others to handle matters in a particular way when it comes to the future.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)
You can be quite determined that your ideas need to be accepted and there will be those who don’t see a problem with any suggestions you make. Somebody who wants control in some way may not be impressed. As long as you can show you have the details in place there is probably not much they can do about objecting.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
A social situation you might rather avoid, especially if family are involved, could work out much better than you anticipate. Conversation should flow quite easily and perhaps prove more interesting than usual. It may be difficult to know what others really think but that won’t matter too much under the circumstances. Just let it flow
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
What someone else expects may not suit you at all, especially if they attempt to restrict you in some way. This can make you more determined about those things that are important to you. You can find ways around this by not showing any annoyance you may feel but rather working behind the scenes in some manner.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct.22)
You have the opportunity to do things your way when it comes to leisure, pleasure or any social activity. This could also include any future travel plans you want to make now. Obligations that need to be dealt with up to late June, which might include what others expect or need of you, have to be taken into account.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan.19)
Social activity involving other people won’t follow the normal pattern and you may need to be mindful about any added expense this might bring your way. Your desire will be towards something simple. You may need to be determined to keep things this way. The experience you have in the end could be rather mixed.
ARIES (March 21-April 20)
Any out of the ordinary contact with either friends or a group of people is likely to be enjoyable with much to discuss or talk about. You could spend more money than you plan. For some, you may reassess what needs to be a priority in life, especially if you feel that something needs to be scaled down for greater stability.
