Edmonton police are investigating a series of suspicious fires in south Edmonton, including a recent arson in the King Edward Park neighbourhood. The fire, reported Thursday night, started in a dumpster and spread to a detached garage, causing $50,000 in damages but no injuries. Since May, seven such incidents have been reported in the Strathearn, Cloverdale, King Edward Park, and Holyrood areas. Although there is no connection to Project Gaslight at this time, which involves extortions targeting the South Asian community, police are actively patrolling and investigating the fires. Local residents are concerned over the increasing number of incidents, fearing for their safety.
