A vehicle was set on fire in the parking lot of an apartment building in Montreal's Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough early Wednesday morning.
Montreal police (SPVM) received a 911 call at 12:40 a.m. about the incident on des Cageux Street and Pierrefonds Boulevard.
'Two other vehicles parked near the burning vehicle were damaged by the fire,' said Caroline Chèvrefils, a spokesperson with Montreal police.
The vehicle is a total loss, but the property nearby was not damaged.
'A suspect would have been seen setting the vehicle on fire and fleeing in a vehicle before the arrival of police,' said Chèvrefils.
There were no reported injuries, and there have been no arrests.
The file has been transferred to the Montreal police arson squad.
