Shots and arson linked to same owner

In recent weeks shots were fired on two occasions at a house on Nuns Island, and several businesses belonging to the same family have been set on fire. The owner, who’s from Italy, maintains that no one has asked him for protection money.

One of the suspects in the Old Montreal arson of a café belonging to the family is an 18‑year‑old who was arrested in hospital where he turned up with serious burns.
