Montreal police say they suspect arson in an overnight fire that burned three vehicles near the Olympic Stadium.
Police spokeswoman Const. Caroline Chèvrefils says police received a call around 10 p.m. Monday reporting three vehicles on fire near the intersection of Pierre-De Coubertin and de la Salle Aves., in the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district.
Preliminary information suggests someone set the fire and fled, she said.
Investigators have spoken with several witnesses, Chèvrefils said, and will look for surveillance cameras in the area.
No incendiary material was found at the scene, she said, adding that the cars have been towed for further analysis by investigators.
She says the three vehicles — two cars and an SUV — are a total loss.
