Specialists and investigators from the Sûreté du Québec are scrutinizing the scene following an arson attack in Rigaud, in which a teenager is the prime suspect.
"The teenager has been arrested and detained. He was met by police this morning. For the moment, we have no further details. As far as the link between the teenager and the family involved is concerned, you will understand that nothing will be divulged as we are dealing with a minor," confirms Officer Louis-Philippe Ruel of the Sûreté du Québec.
The teenager was reportedly apprehended by police in a parking lot not far from the scene, while riding his bicycle.
