Police are looking for the owner of a motorcycle left burning by the side of a Burnaby road Sunday.
Fire crews were called to Cariboo Road near Stormont Avenue at about 9 p.m. for reports of a single motorcycle on fire, according to assistant fire Chief Gavin Summers.
Firefighters secured the scene and quickly extinguished the blaze, he said, but the rider of the bike was nowhere to be found.
There was also no licence plate found on the 2014 Harley Davidson roadster-type motorcycle, according to Burnaby RCMP.
Police have since located the owner, however, and the incident is under investigation.
What are the possible consequences for someone abandoning a flaming motorcycle by the side of the road?
“Depending on the circumstances, if a driver does not remain at the scene of an accident, they could be charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident, which carries a fine of $368,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar told the NOW.
