Montreal police (SPVM) say they have arrested three teenagers after gunshots were fired at a bar in the Plateau.

Two men, 18 and 19 years old, and one woman, 18, were arrested after a search in Saint-Sauveur, about 80 kilometres north of Montreal.

The three were arrested in connection with a shooting at a bar on Mont-Royal Avenue East, near the Mont-Royal metro, on May 2 at around 2:45 a.m.

“At the scene, bullet holes were found in the front door of the business and shell casings were found on the ground,” the SPVM said in a news release. “A suspect was reportedly seen firing towards the front door before fleeing.”

No one was injured in the shooting.

Police said that members of the SPVM firearms team seized evidence during the search in Saint-Sauveur.

The 19-year-old man and 18-year-old woman are due in court on Thursday afternoon, and the third suspect appeared in court and was released on a promise to appear.

The police investigation is ongoing.

Police remind shop owners to contact the SPVM if threatened.

“Our teams, who have the necessary expertise, need to be informed so that they can help you,” the SPVM said. “You can contact us by dialling 911 or your local police station. We will work with you to determine the best course of action.”
