Police are officially investigating a fire at One Mart Superstore in Purcell Estate last night that damaged flammable items.

Sources told BVI News that a boy, around the age of 12, was seen in the area before the fire was observed.

According to information obtained by BVI News, the security guard on duty heard popping sounds like fire burning inside the store at about 9:30 p.m. and discovered fire on one of the shelves. He immediately put out the blaze with a fire extinguisher.

Among the items partially burnt were detergent, matches, lighters, candles and charcoal.

Witnesses and supermarket staff were interviewed.

Cause of fire is not officially known, but according to police sources, arson is suspected.

    Boy this sounds like vip tricks again. Remember when Minister Fraser was trying to convince us and the experts that the stop lights were needed at the roundabout? Well he did say that without them someone will get rundown there. Well so said so done, two days later his own brother run down his own nephew in the vicinity. Remember that? Coincidence you think?? All tricks!! Can’t take any more. NDP all the way…..

    WHy is it that everything that happens now a days has to do with politics? Don’t you think that the young man has some sort of problem and he was acting out? The youth probably needs some sort of help. People grow up and stop blaming everything on politics.
