Charges have been laid against a man who allegedly set several small fires inside a vacant Chilliwack house in late March.
Merant Mussell, 40, is charged with arson damaging property and mischief $5k or under.
Around midnight on March 29, 2022, fire crews were called out to a one-storey home in the 9500 block of Robson Street. When they arrived they saw light smoke venting from the eaves.
Firefighters went into the house and extinguished a few small fires that were deliberately set.
No one was injured, but the investigation that followed led to Mussell.
Mussell’s next scheduled court appearance is June 24.
