• Is gentrification inSt-Henrigood or bad?

Late Saturday night, masked and hooded individuals smashed the windows of the four stores, said Montreal police Const. Andr 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 areahas been asource of tension in the neighbourhood.

Leclercsaid it's too early to sayif the latest attacks are linked to past events and haven't yetdetermined the motive in the case.
