🔵 CHARGES LAID 🔵 We have charged a man after it is believed he was responsible for intentionally setting 2 vehicles on fire yesterday morning in the southeast. 📍 On Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, at approx. 8:50 a.m., we were called to the 100 block of Legacy Main Street S.E., for reports that an unknown man had set fire to a 2024 Ford Escape before fleeing the area in a white Ford Focus. A short time later at approx. 9 a.m., we were called to the 400 block of Walgrove Way S.E., for a similar incident. Again, an unknown suspect, believed to be travelling in a white Ford Focus, approached a 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan & intentionally set it on fire. The Calgary Fire Department attended both scenes & extinguished the fires. No injuries were reported. While working alongside the CFD, our Arson Unit investigators confirmed the damage caused in both incidents was consistent with using an accelerant to ignite the fires.

Several hours later, at approx. 3:15 p.m., our officers in District 8 observed the Ford Focus travelling in the community of Legacy at a high rate of speed. The vehicle drove to the 900 block of Eighth Avenue S.E., where the driver got out & was taken into custody without incident. 📌 As a result, Tyson Lee BONNICK, 31, of Calgary, was charged with 2 counts of arson & 1 count each of possession of stolen property under $5,000 & possession of a controlled substance.
