The first fire took place on Nov. 7. Around 4:40 a.m., two suspects showed up in the parking lot of 965 Curé-Labelle Boulevard. They tried to set fire to the business, by throwing an object against the window, but without success.

However, they caused a fire on the flowerbeds, before fleeing on foot.

This time, the suspect is a six-foot man, who weighs 72.6 kg. He wore black pants with three white stripes down the sides, including a small red tag above the them. He was also wearing a black hoodie, a black coat with a white logo on the front left side, and black gloves.

Anyone with information concerning those suspects or those fires can communicate, confidentially, on the Laval police info line, at 450-662-INFO (4636) or 911, mentioning files LVL-221107-009 and LVL-221108-004. (N.P.)

Boyer announced this is an attempted cyber attack against Laval’s online services. Several online services have therefore been voluntarily shut down in order to limit the damage against the city and its citizens.

Laval’s mayor says it’s around 4 p.m. on Wednesday that suspicious activities were detected online.

“A certain amount of data was taken,” Boyer said. “It’s still unclear which documents were seized by the hackers, but we believe we have prevented the worst.”

At the press conference, Boyer clarified that the source of the attack would come, according to information held for the moment, from an account of a city employee. However, he mentions his team thinks this employee would have been hacked, which would have helped in the hacking of the city’s online services.

Let’s note the activities of the Service de police de Laval (SPL), the Fire Safety Department, the Water Department, and Laval Libraries have not been interrupted.
