Police searching for trucks allegedly
Laval police are asking the public for help to identify three trucks they believe were used to unload illegal waste between June and August 2019.
Officers say the incidents happened on Gaumont Street, in the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul area of Laval, on Montreal’s north shore.
Several red and white trucks reportedly went to the site to unload garbage on vacant land and public roads.
“Protecting the environment is important for Laval residents,” police stated.
“Laval police wishes to remind everyone that it is strictly forbidden to deposit or dispose of any waste along the public road, according to article L 12084 of municipal bylaw 2.12.”
The illegally disposed waste has been cleaned up and no longer causes any threat to the environment.

Quebec Provincial Police question 17 people about Desjardins data breach
Quebec Provincial Police have questioned 17 people of interest and conducted property searches relating to the breach of personal information of 2.9 million Desjardins Group members.
The QPP said it met 91 witnesses in Quebec City, Montreal and Laval earlier this week in the Portier investigation, which concerns the data leak of 2.7 million individuals and 173,000 businesses that were Desjardins customers.
These meetings led the police force to question Thursday the 17 people of interest in addition to conducting six searches — four residences and two businesses — and seizing computer equipment.
More than 200 police and a dozen civilian members took part in this vast operation, according to the statement.
After the data leaked was revealed in June, the provincial police announced the creation of an integrated investigation team including police in the Quebec cities of Laval, Montreal, Quebec City and Levis.
Desjardins, a Quebec-based co-operative, said a single employee was responsible for the breach that was detected in December 2018, and has since been fired.
