A business in Montreal’s Saint-Laurent borough was targeted by alleged arsonists for the second time in two days. Montreal police (SPVM) received a 911 call at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday about the incident on Saint-Louis Street. “When police officers and firefighters arrived, the fire was raging inside the premises,” said Raphaël Bergeron, a spokesperson with Montreal police. “Some objects were found on the scene that led us to believe it was an arson.” Bergeron explained that damage to the building is considered major. “It’s the second event in two nights that occurred at that place,” he said, noting that the previous night, at 11:30 p.m., an “attempted arson was also committed at that place.” The file has been transferred to the Montreal police squad.
