Mission RCMP released a photo on Wednesday (Oct. 30) to identify a woman who could have information on the Real Canadian Superstore Fire last week.
According to a news release from the detachment, the woman was in the Superstore at the time of the fire. She's described as between 25 and 36 years old, roughly 5'6 with dyed red hair and a medium build.
In the photo, the woman was wearing a black baseball cap, a white jacket with blue lining, a black shoulder bag, black leggings and white sneakers.
Mission RCMP released a separate photo last week of a man they wanted to speak with about the fire.
"That man came forward and provided information that helped progress the investigation and he is not considered a suspect in the arson. Mission RCMP is now asking for similar assistance in identifying a female customer that was in the store at the time of the fire. Based on the investigation, police believe this woman may have additional key information that could assist with advancing the investigation," the detachment said.
The fire occurred on Oct. 22 shortly before the store closed at 11 p.m. in the toilet paper aisle. Mission RCMP confirmed two days later the blaze was an arson.
No injuries were reported as a result of the fire, but RCMP said some customers and employees experienced minor smoke inhalation.
The Superstore reopened to customers on Sunday (Oct. 27) after the blaze closed the location for four days.
