]]> About 60 hours after the gunshots that injured four people behind Collège Montmorency, the Service de police de Laval (SPL) says the investigation is progressing well, while the suspect in this shooting is still being tracked.

For its part, the Fraternité des policiers de Laval came out publicly, first to direct its thoughts to the victims, families, as well as students and staff of the CEGEP, having lived through horrible hours in being confined after the discharge of gunshotsthat occurred on the evening of Nov. 11.

It also mentioned “the great work, commitment and availability of its members during the large-scale operation deployed”.

Surprise and Disappointment

However, taking the example of that other event of armed violence to occur in Laval in recent months, or even years, the Fraternité des policiers de Laval recalled, in a press release, that “obviously, this extra time puts immense pressure on Laval police officers, who continue, however, to be present at all hours of the day and night. This inevitably has an impact on their personal and family life”.

Supporting the idea, as Mayor of Laval Stéphane Boyer did the day after this other shooting, resources to stop armed violence remain limited. the Fraternité des policiers de Laval specified that no funding has been granted to the SPL, while Quebec’s Government extended no less than 250 million over five years for Montreal’s police.

]]> The Service de police de Laval (SPL) wants to inform the public that on Oct. 10, investigators from Crimes contre la personne squad arrested Marc-André Cauvier, 54 years old, in connection with an attempted kidnapping that occurred on Oct. 1.

Investigators have reason to believe that Cauvier may have had other victims, and they would like to contact them.

“Cauvier was driving in a dark grey Dodge Caravan, with tinted windows,” said Erika Landy, spokesperson for the SPL.

That suspect vehicle had damage to the rear passenger side bumper, and was also damaged between the light and the trunk on the driver’s side.

SPL investigators would like to thank the Laval and north shore merchants, who collaborated in their investigation and success.

The Facts

Around 1 a.m., on Saturday, Oct. 1, the victim, a 21-year-old woman, was dropped off in the parking lot of Montmorency’s metro station by an Uber vehicle.

As she was heading toward her vehicle, parked not far at Collège Montmorency, the woman was accosted by the suspect, who physically tried to kidnap her. She would have managed to scare him away.

Living in Sainte-Sophie, in the Laurentides, Cauvier is facing charges of attempted kidnapping, sequestration and assault.

He appeared at Laval’s courthouse, at the Court of Quebec on Tuesday, Oct. 11, and will remain detained until his return to court, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 13.

Anyone who would have been a victim of Cauvier, or has information about this file, can communicate, confidentially, on the SPL info line at 450 662-INFO (4636) or 911, mentioning the file. LVL-221001-007.
