REGINA – Police are asking residents around Sixth Avenue and Retallack Street to check their surveillance cameras. Back on Nov. 13, a residence at 1202 Retallack Street exploded, something police believe is the result of criminal activity.
“Through investigation, it was determined that a gas line in the building had been compromised,” explained RPS in a media release. “It’s believed the explosion itself was accidental, but the compromise of the gas line is a criminal act, caused by a person or persons unknown at this time.”
From their investigation, police believe the gas line was cut between 5 and 7 a.m. on that fateful Sunday morning. Amazingly, there were no injuries as a result of the explosion, which had several emergency response units on scene.
Police are treating the incident as a break, enter and commit mischief, and are asking anyone with information to contact RPS at (306) 777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
