Arrest in gender clinic arson

RCMP are confirming the arrest of Jayne Heideck who was wanted in connection with an arson in Quebec.

Const. Jesse O’Donaghey says Heideck remains in custody at the Kelowna detachment following her arrest at about 10 a.m. Monday.

The arrest took place in the 3100 block of Lakeshore Drive.

Montreal police issued the arrest warrant for Heideck after an arson fire at Canada’s only gender confirmation clinic.

The Centre Metropolitain de Chirurgie caught fire at 8:45 p.m. on May 2. Police originally investigated the possibility of a hate crime, but have since ruled that motive out.

Kelowna police are working with officers in Montreal.
