Red Deer RCMP are investigating a vehicle fire in Riverside Meadows.

Unknown vandals caused a truck fire on the 5800 block of 60A Street on Thursday morning. Police were on patrol at 11:15 a.m. when they saw black smoke and found the vehicle ablaze.

The truck was parked and empty.

RCMP located the vehicle owner, who reported that two or three unknown suspects, wearing face coverings, had thrown a bottle through his residence window, then fled in a blue truck.

RCMP do not believe this was a random event.
