MONTREAL – Montreal police are investigating another suspicious fire in Montreal East early Tuesday morning.
Two cars parked in front of a commercial building on Notre-Dame Street, near the intersection of Broadway Avenue, were lit on fire at around 2:30 a.m.

No incendiary objects had been found at the scene. The cars were towed away for examination by investigators.
Police were looking for surveillance cameras in the area to see if they captured any images that could help the investigation and locate suspects.
