Montreal kosher bakery destroyed by second arson attempt in two days
More than 20 employees are without income after the Saint-Laurent bakery burned, and police say the fire was deliberately set.
A kosher bakery in Montreal's Saint-Laurent borough was destroyed by fire Wednesday, less than 48 hours after a first arson attempt. Police say the fire at Mimimelon was deliberately set, and their hate crimes unit is investigating.
The owners call it a complete loss, and more than 20 employees are without income.

Rebel News asked police what was done between the two fires. Officers did some rounds, a spokesperson said, but the arson happened anyway.
The attack comes days after a Westmount synagogue was targeted for the third time in under two years.
