An explosion at a train station in Montreal’s South Shore has led to the discovery of a stolen car, according to police.
The incident occurred on Tuesday evening at the Saint-Lambert train station, where a loud explosion was heard by nearby residents. Upon investigation, police found a stolen car with significant damage in the parking lot.
Authorities believe that the explosion was caused by a homemade bomb that was placed inside the stolen vehicle. The bomb was reportedly made with a propane tank and fireworks, and was intended to destroy the car and potentially cause harm to anyone nearby.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported and the situation was quickly brought under control by the police. The area was cordoned off and a bomb squad was called in to safely dispose of the explosive device.
Further investigation revealed that the stolen car was linked to a recent car theft in the area. The owner of the vehicle had reported it missing just a few days prior to the explosion.
Police are currently searching for any suspects involved in the incident and are urging anyone with information to come forward. They are also reminding the public to be cautious and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
The Saint-Lambert train station was temporarily closed as a precautionary measure, but has since reopened. The incident caused some delays for commuters, but no major disruptions were reported.
This is a developing story and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
