Notre-Dame Street stores vandalized in St-Henri

CBC
Updated

Police are reviewing surveillance videos after businesses on Notre-Dame Street in Montreal's St-Henri neighbourhood were vandalized over the weekend.

Late Saturday night, masked and hooded individuals smashed the windows of the four stores, said Montreal police Const. André Leclerc.

Leclerc said police were called to the scene, but by the time they arrived the vandals had fled.

The shops were all closed at the time and no one was injured.

This isn't the first time businesses on Notre-Dame have been vandalized.

The strip has undergone major changes in recent years, with several new restaurants and shops, and the gentrification of the area has been a source of tension in the neighbourhood.

Leclerc said it's too early to say if the latest attacks are linked to past events and haven't yet determined the motive in the case.

  • Netflix: Breaking down how investors interpret subscriber data

    Netflix (NFLX) stock is falling Friday morning despite reporting breakout growth of 9.3 million new subscribers in its first-quarter earnings report. Going forward, the streaming giant will not be disclosing subscriber figures in future earnings results. Citi Managing Director Jason Bazinet sits down with the Morning Brief to highlight the "anxiety" that could manifest in investors from Netflix withholding this core data. Netflix's ad-supported tiers and password-sharing crackdown have proven to be a boon to revenues and the streamer's subscriber count. "What they [Wall Street] want to see is when we begin to lap some of these password-sharing benefits, what's going to carry the water? How are they going to get these net ads?" Bazinet explains. "So right about the time that the benefit of password sharing fades, people want to see the sub numbers to see how well the ad tier is doing."
