The weigh scales building on the Hart Highway has been damaged by fire and Police are asking for your help…

The incident began on July 19, 2025, at around 10 pm, when witnesses reported the weigh scales building on fire. When fire crews arrived on scene, flames were coming from the CVSE office.

Officers arrived on scene and once the fire was out, members found evidence to suggest the fire was intentionally set.

“Police believe that this incident is related to another suspicious fire investigation that occurred on December 24, 2024 at the Highway 97 South weigh scales. There was orange spray-paint graffiti located on a sea-can nearby, that is similar to what was located in December. The graffiti reads “good job McCreadie,” says Cst. Jenna Moore, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Investigators are hoping that someone passing by that section of the highway might have dash camera footage that caught people or vehicles approaching or leaving the area in the time before the fire was reported to police.

If you have information relating to this investigation, please call the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line at 250-561-3300 to speak with an investigator.
