The restaurant Nuits de Beyrouth, in Laval, was the prey of a second suspicious fire in the night from Monday to Tuesday, after another similar incident the day before.
Posted at 8:50 a.m.
“We can confirm that yesterday and last night, we had fires twice in a licensed establishment which is located on [le boulevard] Curé-Labelle, ”said Érika Landry, of the Service de police de Laval (SPL).
The first incident took place around 4:30 a.m. Monday morning, but the fire extinguished itself outside a facade of the building. A witness called emergency services again shortly before 1 a.m. Tuesday when he saw flames inside the facility.
“Both files are transferred to our fire investigation section,” said Constable Landry. She was not able to say on Tuesday if the two events are linked.
This is not its first setback for the Nuits de Beyrouth restaurant. It was also set on fire in October, and suspects have been charged in connection with threats made to this establishment and other restaurants in the area.
