Multiple police and fire units were called to the scene of a suspicious car fire Tuesday night around 11 p.m. near 240 Street and 26 Avenue in Langley.
First responders arrived to find a small red car with some fire damage.
An eyewitness said he saw the fire and put it out with a blanket.
Another eyewitness reported seeing a man and a woman with the car before the fire was reported earlier that evening.
No injuries were reported.
Police blocked off 26 Avenue to all traffic while they took witness statements and photographed and videotaped both the car and the burnt blanket.
It was re-opened to vehicles around 12:30 a.m.
They arrived to find a small red car with some fire damage.
One witness saw police handcuff a man and remove him from the scene.
Langley RCMP said drug paraphernalia was found at the scene and one man was taken into custody for being in violation of his curfew as well as one condition of his release, that he not possess any drug paraphernalia.
A report by officers at the scene said the car did not suffer significant fire damage, and the blaze may have been a result of drug use.
