The RCMP is investigating a suspicious fire that destroyed a building in Oxbow, N.B. earlier this month.

Members of the RCMP detachment in Perth-Andover responded to the fire on Route 385 shortly before 5 a.m. on July 10.

Police say the fire had engulfed Intertribal, a building owned by the Canada Metis Council.

Firefighters managed to keep the fire from spreading to nearby buildings, but police say it took several hours to get under control, and the building was destroyed.

No one was inside at the time and no one was injured.

Police believe the fire was deliberately set and they are asking anyone with information to contact them.
