The second incident took place on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021, shortly before 3 a.m., in the 800 block of 1 Avenue N.W., where a fire broke out in the exterior parking lot of an apartment complex. The fire destroyed three vehicles and caused severe damage to the interior and exterior of the apartment complex. Preliminary estimates of the damage is valued at close to $1 Million.

The person traveled to and from the area on a Reebok brand purple bike and is described as having a thin frame, closely cropped brown hair, and was wearing a tan jacket and white hooded sweater. Photos of the individual and the bicycle are available on The City of Calgary Newsroom.
