Police investigate triple vehicle fire in Toronto neighbourhood as arson

Police are investigating a series of vehicle fires in a Toronto neighbourhood, treating the incident as a potential arson. In the early hours of Thursday morning, three vehicles were set ablaze at the home of Liberal MP Salma Zahid, located on Bellamy Road North and Lawrence Avenue East. The incident, which left no reported injuries, was reported to Toronto police and firefighters who responded to the blaze promptly.

Following the fire, Toronto Fire Services took charge of the investigation. Zahid expressed her disappointment, stating she would not speculate on a motive until the police investigation was completed, emphasizing that such acts are unacceptable and she remains committed to serving her constituents. Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the act, calling it a "cowardly act of violence and intimidation" and vowed to hold the perpetrator(s) accountable.

The police are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in their ongoing investigation.
