An Italian restaurant in Saint-Eustache was the target of arson on the night of Wednesday to Thursday in Saint-Eustache, a northern suburb of Montreal.
"We do have indications that it's criminal," said Detective Lt. Audrey Bouchard, spokesperson for the Saint-Eustache Police Service.
At around 4am, one or more suspects smashed the front window of Fellini restaurant, rue Dubois, before launching an incendiary device.
Passersby, however, managed to extinguish the flames before they spread.
Damage to the building was therefore limited.
No one has been injured and no arrests have yet been made in this case.
