Montreal police say they’re investigating after a fire was set at a bakery that has been targeted by criminals two other times since May.   

Police say they were called to the bakery, in the northern Montreal borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville, shortly before 3 a.m. after suspicious people allegedly tried to enter.

They say the suspects started a fire and then fled before officers arrived. 

Police say firefighters quickly brought the blaze under control and incendiary objects were found on the scene.
