Montreal police are probing a suspicious car fire that lit up the Rivier days Prairie's

Poinot Strimblesboro early Sunday morning.

Firefighters had the flames knocked down by the time cops rolled up, fighting the torched

vehicle right on the street with heavy damage.

Witnesses spotted more than one suspect creeping up on the car.

They smashed a window first, then sparked the blaze on the passenger side before bolting

from the scene.

No one got hurt, and nearby buildings stayed untouched, which kept things from escalating.

Folks in the area are on edge, but officials say it's an isolated hit so far.

Now the SPVM arson squad has jumped in, securing the site for clues.

They're calming through any surveillance video, chatting up witnesses, and towing the

wreck for a deep forensic dive.

With no arrests yet, the hunt for those suspects rolls on, and we'll keep tabs as more drops.

Stay sharp out there.
