Steinbach RCMP are hoping to speak with anyone who may have witnessed an act of arson over the weekend.

At 2:28 Sunday morning, RCMP were notified that an individual may have deliberately set a house on fire along Hespeler Street, south of McKenzie Avenue.

Police responded to the report and found a small fire in an abandoned residence. They quickly put out the fire using an extinguisher. The Steinbach Fire Department attended to confirm the fire was out.

Police say nobody was located nearby and there were no suspicious vehicles in the area. Damage was extremely minimal.

Anyone who knows more information or may have spotted suspicious activity in the area at that time is asked to contact Steinbach RCMP.
