A 15-year-old Canadian girl has been charged with arson causing damage to property and possession of incendiary material after allegedly setting fire to a charter bus belonging to the Kane County Cougars, a U.S.-based independent professional baseball team. The incident occurred on May 21 outside Blue Cross Park in Winnipeg, where the team was traveling for games against the Winnipeg Goldeyes. Authorities confirmed the fire was intentionally set, and the bus, along with its contents, was completely destroyed, causing an estimated $425,000 in damages. Two teenagers were initially detained, and the 15-year-old was later released into the custody of a responsible adult. No injuries were reported. The bus operator, Windstar, expressed disappointment, stating the loss would impact their business operations. Police have not disclosed a motive, and the investigation remains ongoing.
