Suspicious fire in a beauty salon in Terrebonne

The Terrebonne / Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines / Bois-des-Filion Police Department reports that the incident took place in an establishment located on Boulevard des Entreprises.

After the blaze went out, the fire department turned the file over to the police for further investigation due to the presence of suspicious items at the scene. A front window of the establishment was reportedly smashed.

Police forensic identification technicians and investigators will be on site on Friday to analyze the scene and meet the owners.

The damage caused by the fire as well as by the triggering of the sprinkler system was mainly confined to the interior of the establishment, according to the police.

(Terrebonne) The business of a Laval police officer who was assigned to "administrative work" this week after publicly questioning the severity of the pandemic was the target of an apparently criminal fire late Thursday evening.

The Beauté Maudite beauty treatment business in Terrebonnne, owned by the resigned police officer Maxime Ouimet, was probably the target of Molotov cocktails. Three windows as well as the front door of the establishment were smashed. "The damage caused by the fire as well as by the triggering of the sprinkler system is mainly limited to the interior of the business," said the Terrebonne Police Department, in a statement posted on social networks.

Mr. Ouimet himself reported the incident last night on his Facebook account "People's policeman for the people". "A big thank you for trying to burn my business down while trying to help people," commented his post, along with a photo of the damage, which appears to have since been deleted.
