Man charged with mischief after incident at Montreal airport

One man will be charged with mischief after he and another were arrested at the Montreal Trudeau Airport on Thursday. 

Police constable Anie Lemieux said an object resembling an explosive device was found in their luggage, but the object was harmless.

The two men were at a security checkpoint in the international departures area. The incident happened around 5 a.m. and caused some delays to international flights.

The two men are 43 and 73 years old. The younger one is being charged with mischief and the older one has been released. 


Landmark Montreal eatery may close its doors

It’s the end of an era. Middle Eastern fast-food restaurant Boustan on Crescent may soon be closing its doors.

Owner Imad Smaidi has put the place up for sale after running it for 25 years, because his sons do not want to continue the family business. 

The bustling place opens from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. and serves everyone from students, to homeless people, to celebrities go to Boustan. Smaidi has a picture with the late Pierre Elliot Trudeau in the restaurant from the last time the Prime Minister ate there.

Smaidi hopes the new owner will keep the restaurant going.
