The major operation, related to urban firearm violence in recent months, is being deployed in collaboration with the police forces of Montreal, Deux-Montagnes, Saint-Jérôme and Longueuil.

About 150 police officers are working on that case, carrying out the various interventions, some of which are taking place in Montreal, Saint-Jérôme and Deux-Montagnes.

That’s the result of an investigation, initiated in August as part of the Centaur project, in which the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are also taking part.

At the SPL, it’s the Organized Crime Division that’s involved in the operation, which has already been helpful, since narcotics and firearms would have already been confiscated.

A more complete report of the operation, which is still in progress, will be presented later.

The fire allegedly occurred around 4:40 a.m. in a commercial complex, on Curé-Labelle Boulevard, located a bit north of Cartier Boulevard.

Once at the scene, Laval’s firefighters and police officers found that the small strip of garden adorning the front of the Nuits de Beyrouth restaurant had flamed.

An object would have also been thrown against the shop window, but the fire would have extinguished itself, even before the arrival of emergency services on site.

Laval’s police indicate that this wouldn’t be the first event of that kind to occur at the location.

During a speedometer operation around 10:30 a.m., a 30-year-old man from Montreal was registered 104 km/h in a construction zone established at 50 km/h, located on the Pie-IX Bridge, in Laval.

Following checks of the off-road SUV, and with the offender, the police arrested the suspect, in connection with vehicle theft.

Excessive Speeding

The Montrealer was also given a ticket of $817, and 10 demerit points for excessive speeding. His driver’s license was immediately suspended.

To conclude, he could face charges, among others, of theft and concealment of vehicles.

Second Incident

Later in the day, around 1:45 p.m., patrol officers were dealing with a road safety operation, related to the violation of a mark applied to the roadway, at the intersection of highways 440 and 13.

During the operation, officers saw an SUV driving on the public road while it was reported stolen. Consequently, the police arrested the underage driver, also from Montreal.

The latter could receive several statements of offence, such as having driven a road vehicle without having the appropriate class of licence.

That offence is punishable by a fine of $361.

Finally, he could also face charges relating to vehicle theft. (B.L.)
