Montreal police (SPVM) are investigating after 11 vehicles were vandalized downtown on Friday.
A 911 call placed around 3 a.m. brought officers to Chomedy Street near Sherbrooke Street, where they found all 11 vehicles with their front windshields smashed.
Nothing was stolen from the vehicles, said SPVM spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant.
A video of the vandalized cars circulated on social media Friday.
Police are hoping to find surveillance cameras that could help identify a suspect.
No arrests have been made.
Correction
A previous version of this story said the vandalism occurred in Westmount. It actually occurred just northeast of Westmount, on the border of Shaughnessy Village in downtown Montreal.
