Police investigating two ‘suspicious’ weigh station fires and graffiti

Canadian police are seeking dash cam footage to assist in the investigation into two recent weigh station fires deemed as possible arson.

At 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 19, 2025, Prince George RCMP received a report about a fire at a weigh station located along Highway 97 North in the Prince George, B.C. area.

First responders learned from the report that the fire was coming from the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) office located in the weigh station.

After officers arrived on scene, evidence gathered “suggest[ed] the fire was intentionally set.”

“Police believe that this incident is related to another suspicious fire investigation that occurred on December 24, 2024 at the Highway 97 South weigh scales. There was orange spray-paint graffiti located on a sea-can nearby, that is similar to what was located in December. The graffiti reads good job McCreadie,” says Cst. Jenna Moore, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Authorities are asking for dash cam footage that caught people or vehicles approaching or leaving the area in the time before the fire was reported to police.

If you have dash cam video or any information, you’re asked to contact the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line at 250-561-3300.

The investigation is ongoing.
