Police arrested five men May 15, whom they believe committed a string of armed robberies in Laval involving knives, guns and pepper spray during the past several months.<\/p>\n

At 10:45 p.m., police received a holdup call from a d\u00e9panneur at 2276 L\u00e9vesque in Duvernay.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that the five suspects are related to a number of armed robberies in Laval,\u201d Sgt. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Jean said in an interview.<\/p>\n

Four suspects holding pepper spray allegedly entered the d\u00e9panneur while the other remained inside the car.<\/p>\n

En route to the holdup scene, Laval police officers spotted the suspects’ distinctive Cadillac SRX car and followed it toward Montreal.<\/p>\n

With help from the police tactical squad, they finally stopped the car in Montreal’s Ahuntsic district.<\/p>\n

The five men inside were arrested for armed robbery and will be questioned in relation to other convenience store incidents.<\/p>\n

\n Machine pistol seized<\/b>

<\/b>
\nLaval’s anti-gang squad has arrested two Chomedey men whom they suspect were involved in drug trafficking.<\/p>\n

On May 22, they arrested May Sam Habibzadey, 21 and Mehdi Zandi, 33, in a parking lot on Labelle Blvd., and subsequently searched Zandi’s Chomedey residence, where they found a half-kilo of ecstasy powder, six ounces of cocaine, a pound of cannabis and a Cobray machine pistol (a pistol that fires automatically), with cartridges and ammunition. They also seized $21,000 in cash and a vehicle.<\/p>\n

The suspects were arraigned in court the following day and will face a variety of drug and weapons charges.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n Pedestrian killed <\/b><\/p>\n

Laval police responded to the death of a 55-year-old man, May 21, after he was stuck by a truck while crossing de l’Avenir Blvd., around 9:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victim passed behind a truck that was backing up. The vehicle was equipped with an auditory backup warning,\u201d remarked Sgt. Jean. \u201cInvestigators determined that the warning device was working and are unclear as to why he crossed the street where he did, despite the nearby pedestrian crossing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The traffic fatality was Laval’s second accidental death of the year.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n Cycling for sick kids<\/b><\/p>\n

Fifteen Laval police officers and five volunteers embarked on a 1,100 km cyclathon through Quebec, May 27.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey’re raising money for the Marie-Soleil Tougas fund, to support Op\u00e9ration Enfant- Soleil, <\/i>which helps sick kids,\u201d explained Sgt. Jean.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cyclists left from City Hall at 8:45 a.m., Monday, and will wend their way through various Quebec towns before they return, around 4:15 p.m., June 1.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
Quebec City police plan to link up with their Laval colleagues during the trip.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cMembers of the public are encouraged to donate to the campaign by visiting dons.operationenfantsoleil.ca<\/a>\u201d added Sgt. Jean.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cDuring the past 16 years, the annual event has raised more than $1 million for sick children.\u201d<\/p>\n
