One man has been arrested by Surrey Police Service (SPS) Frontline officers in connection with an overnight fire that has damaged at least one business in Surrey’s City Centre neighbourhood.

Shortly after 2:30 am two SPS Frontline officers were on patrol in Surrey’s City Centre neighbourhood when they noticed smoke and a burning smell coming from a small strip mall on the southwest corner or 108 Ave and City Parkway.
