There have been seven cellphone tower fires in the province, mostly north of Montreal, since May 1. The arrest was made overnight, after firefighters were called to put out fires at two more cellphone towers, in Blainville and Saint-Jérôme, just after midnight. On Tuesday and Wednesday, two tower fires were set in Laval — one causing an estimated $200,000 in damage. Some 50 fires targeting cell towers and other equipment have been reported in Britain this month, leading to three arrests. "Vandalizing cellphone towers does nothing but threaten emergency services and impact the daily lives of Canadians across the country," Trudeau wrote.
