Police investigate suspected firebombing : Wednesday, July 13, 2011
Winnipeg police are investigating a suspected fire bombing in Elmwood.
Around 2:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, officers were called to Mighton Avenue.
Reports from the scene suggest the resident arrived home to find the house fire-bombed.
Police spent hours marking a number of spots around the home, as evidence.
Officers are not commenting Tuesday evening, only calling it a "fire-related incident." The Arson Strike Force is investigating.
Whether this is related to the simmering biker gang war is unknown.There have been a series of fire-bombings, which police recently confirmed is the result of a brewing battle between two rival gangs. The Rock Machine Motorcylce Gang and a puppet club of the Hells Angels.
On Sunday, a used car dealership DC Automotive was hit by the latest firebombing, it's the same dealership where a Rock Machine member was beaten last year, the owner of the business denies any gang ties.
And before that, three shootings in one week occured in south Winnipeg, they're all believed to be tied to gangs.
One drive-by shooting in fort rouge, sent a 14-year-old boy into emergency surgery, after he was shot in the hip.
