Extortion attempts: 3 more suspects arrested after Plateau-Mont-Royal bar shot up
An SPVM police vehicle is seen in Montreal, Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christinne Muschi Three more suspects have been arrested as part of Montreal police's ongoing investigation into extortion attempts targeting local bars and restaurants. The three arrests, made last Wednesday by the EMAF anti-gun squad, were in relation to a shooting at a bar on Mont-Royal Avenue East in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough. No injuries were reported when the front door was shot up at 2:45 a.m. on May 2. The people arrested are between the ages of 20 and 34, according to police, and are part of a third wave of arrests related to the shooting. After the incident, three initial suspects were arrested: two men and a woman, all aged between 18 and 19. On June 5, a second wave of arrests was carried out when officers handcuffed two men, aged 19 and 26. All eight suspects were released on a promise to appear in court at a later date and 'are suspected of having played an active role in a series of violent incidents of an intimidating nature targeting a group of business owners,' police said in a news release. Police say their investigation continues. This latest development comes less than a month after police carried out major raids and arrested 13 suspects with alleged ties to a series of extortion attempts. Businesses have been targeted by gunfire and arson in the last several months as organized crime groups demand protection money from owners or face more violence. Montreal police are reminding bar owners who are victims of threats not to give in to intimidation tactics and to immediately call the SPVM, which has special teams with the expertise needed to investigate such cases, the force added.
