MONTREAL The greater Montreal area has witnessed a notable increase in arsons in recent months, with restaurants, cafes and vehicles the frequent targets.
Just over a month after police forces launched a joint investigation to fight organized crime in Montreal, a reception hall in Laval has closed its doors for good after being attacked multiple times.
Montreal police say they have arrested five people and seized multiple firearms in connection with a Saint-Laurent restaurant that was recently targeted by gunfire and arson.
