SPVM spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant indicated that the firefighters had brought the fire under control when the police arrived and that the witnesses and the information collected at the scene led the firefighters to transfer the file to the arson squad.

The suspects fled before firefighters or police arrived.
The space sustained significant damage, but no injuries were reported.
