Arson Investigation: Four vehicle fire outside N.B. towing business

Moncton, New Brunswick — Four vehicles have been set on fire at a Moncton towing business, Dynamic Towing.

New Brunswick RCMP officers are investigating the scene, after receiving a report of the fires in the early morning. The RCMP has yet to announce whether its investigators believe the fires to have been acts of arson.

In Ontario, arson attacks against towing businesses have been on the rise, with more than 80 tow trucks torched in the past 18 months. Police have labeled these crimes as a tow turf war perpetrated by individuals within the industry.

While within the New Brunswick towing community may be concerned that these crimes are connected or part of a similar turf war, a representative of Dynamic Towing thinks it is unlikely.

“There’s no evidence yet. We will have to wait for the police to finish up, but I don’t think there is any connection.”

Members of the towing community with information about the arson incidents can contact the RCMP tip line by dialling 506-857-2400.
