Arrests have been made in relation to the fire at Two Creek School, in Virden.
On Wednesday, while investigating an unrelated matter, 19-year-old Jack Noel Sandy, of Virden, was arrested and charged with multiple offences including arson in regards to this incident. He was remanded into custody and will appear in Brandon Provincial court next month.
RCMP also arrested a 22-year-old and have released him on a Promise to Appear for court scheduled Dec 8, in Brandon Provincial Court.
Police and fire crews arrived at the structure last weekend to find it completely on fire. After battling the fire for several hours, it was eventually extinguished. Due to the building having been condemned and full of debris, an immediate cause of the fire could not be determined.
Virden RCMP would like to thank the community for their assistance in helping solve the Two Creeks fire, and are asking for their continued help in providing additional information in relation to the Downtown fire that occurred 24 hours earlier on 7th Avenue.
