Youth charged with arson after Little Pine band office burned down

The Little Pine First Nation has lost its band office and medical health centre to a fire that was set intentionally by a 15-year old youth.
On June 21, the Cut Knife RCMP responded to the fire at about 4a.m. They were unable to contain the flames. The Little Pine office building was a complete loss, along with the shed located beside the band office. Police believe the fire was started in the shed.
The youth male, who was charged with arson and two charges of failing to comply with an undertaking, appeared in North Battleford Provincial Court on June 22 and was remanded for a show case hearing at a later date.
