Montreal police released surveillance footage of suspected arson attacks last month on tow trucks in the Saint-Michel neighbourhood and are asking the public for help in locating the suspects.
Police said around 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 11 three suspects broke into a yard belonging to the Remorquage Météor tow truck company. Two of them doused the trucks in gasoline while the third set the trucks on fire.
In a second act of arson on Nov. 19, the suspects committed the same act on another company tow truck, again at 3:30 a.m., but this time they set it on fire on a public road near an employee’s home.
“The information gathered so far tends to show that these fires are the result of a sharing of towing territories on the island of Montreal,” police alleged in a news release.
Police are asking anyone with information about these events to call Info-Crime Montréal anonymously and confidentially at 514-393-1133 or visit infocrimemontreal.ca.
