A home in central Edmonton was destroyed in an apparent arson early Thanksgiving morning .

Neighbours in the Cloverdale neighbourhood were left with notes demanding Bitcoin money transfers.

Police have tied the notes to a similar fire in the Holyrood neighbourhood a month prior.

The fires come in the wake of a string of arsons targeting homebuilders in Edmonton ’s South Asian community.
