SAANICH, B.C. — A fire that caused damage to the interior of a Home Depot store in Saanich was started by a man who was disgruntled at the company for not giving him a job. According to the Times Colonist, Steven Pickering told Saanich police that he “decided to cause mayhem” after being turned down for a position there. He also set fire to propane tanks at a nearby townhouse complex that was under construction. Pickering turned himself in and pleaded guilty to the crimes. He has been sentenced to five years in prison.
