LANGLEY (NEWS 1130) — The Langley RCMP has called in homicide investigators after a body was found inside a pickup truck that had been on fire.
First responders were called to the fire around 7 p.m., near 82 Avenue and 197 Street.
“Once the fire was extinguished, a body was located inside the burned red Ford F-150 pickup,” says a statement from Mounties.
“The area surrounding the scene will be cordoned off for a significant amount of time.”
When the fire was put out – that's when they were able to find the body, the victim has not been identified. IHIT will remain in the area for several hours and it's not clear if this was gang related. @NEWS1130 https://t.co/JYwGpZduva
