looking
for van
arsonists

A van stolen in Burnaby at
1 a.m. Monday was later
driven to North Vancouver
and set on fire.

North Van RCMP detec-
tives are looking for two men
who neighbours saw running
away from the van moments
before it burst into flames on
MacGowan Avenue near
Hope Road.

Also being sought is a blue
Malibu which was seen
following the white Ford
Econoline 200 van = and
which the two people runn-
ing from the van may have
used in their getaway.

Two residents of the area
saw the van roaring down
Hope and then turn on to
MacGowan at about 7:15
am, with the Malibu close
behind.

They saw two men get out
of the van and run south on
MacGowan, at the same
time they noticed the van
was on fire.
