After arriving at a Prince Albert business, the people captured on a surveillance camera proceeded to discharge a gun towards the front door and then light a fire.

The incident that occurred early Monday morning in the 3300 block of second Ave. W. is under investigation.

At approximately 5:19 a.m., members of the Prince Albert police service were dispatched to assist the Prince Albert Fire Department (PAFD). Upon arriving on scene, officers observed fire crews addressing the fire, which appeared to be concentrated at the front entrance of the building.

A preliminary review of surveillance footage indicated four individuals arrived at the location in a silver vehicle. One male suspect discharged what is believed to be a modified firearm at the front door of the business. Two additional individuals then ignited and threw improvised incendiary devices at the entrance, causing it to catch fire. The suspects fled the scene immediately afterward.

Police have since located the vehicle believed to be involved in the incident; however, the suspects have not yet been identified.

Police are asking anyone who may have information, surveillance footage, or who witnessed suspicious activity in the area around the time of the incident to contact the Prince Albert Police Service. Anonymous tips can be provided to Crime Stoppers.
