Canada: Montreal police targeting 'anarchist' vandals

Montreal police are after some apparent anarchists who have vandalized a bank, a car dealership -- and police cars.

An East Montreal Mazda dealership found 43 slashed tires on its lot Tuesday morning, causing about $10,000 in damage, CTV Montreal reported Wednesday.

A group calling itself Collectif Ton Chien, or Your Dog's Group, took responsibility on an anarchist website and in communiques to various media outlets.

"They said they were inspired by -- and in solidarity with -- two groups and two actions earlier: The torching of six police cars ... and three ATM machines that were set on fire," said CTV Montreal's Herb Luft.

Those actions were said to be carried out by Collectif Ton Pere (Your Father's Group) and Collectif Ton Oncle (Your Uncle's Group), he said.

Police say the groups appear to be linked, but they have to work on proof, he said.
