Police investigating pair of church fires in southwestern Ontario

Police say they are investigating a pair of “very suspicious” fires that engulfed two churches in southwestern Ontario early Sunday.

Emergency services say they responded to the first fire at the South Caradoc United Church in Strathroy-Caradoc, Ont., just past midnight.

Police say that a few hours later, emergency services were called to St. Andrew’s Anglican church seven kilometres away from the first fire.

Ontario Provincial Police and the Strathroy-Caradoc Police Service say they are collaborating on the two investigations.

Police say no injuries were reported in the fires.
