Montreal: attempted arson of a beauty salon

The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) is investigating an attempted arson of a business that occurred in the Hochelaga sector, on the night of Thursday to Friday.

Around 2 a.m., the police were alerted to a broken window of a beauty salon on rue Hochelaga, near rue Paul-Pau.

When they arrived at the scene, the police noted a possible incendiary object which extinguished itself, while the damage to the business was limited to the shattered window.

The investigation has been transferred to the SPVM's arson section, spokeswoman Véronique Comtois said.

Investigators should move on site during the day to analyze the supper protected by a security perimeter, it was added.
