A burnt vehicle in Rosemont

(Montreal) The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) is investigating a vehicle fire that occurred early Thursday night in the borough of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie.

Posted at 6:15 a.m.

The police received a call around 12:20 a.m. Thursday because of a vehicle that was engulfed in flames on rue d’Iberville, near rue Masson.

The fire was quickly brought under control by firefighters and no injuries were reported, but witnesses reportedly saw at least one person prowling near the vehicle, leading the SPVM to believe that it was an arson attack.

The investigation was transferred to the SPVM’s arson division. Investigators will go there Thursday morning to meet witnesses and view images from surveillance cameras.

The vehicle was towed for analysis and no suspect had been arrested at the start of the night in this case.
