Report: Police Operation Underway Near Ubisoft Montreal Office

Canadian news outlets are reporting a police situation taking place at the building where Ubisoft Montreal is based. Montreal PD has confirmed there is a police operation in the sector where the offices are located but didn’t provide any further details. The Montreal Journal first reported a possible hostage situation in Montreal near where Ubisoft’s offices are located, on Saint-Laurent Boulevard in the Mile End area of Montreal. The Montreal police have not confirmed any details beyond a police operation, however. IGN reached out to the Montreal Police’s media box where an automated briefing said a “police operation” is happening at the location of Saint-Laurent and St-Vieateur, but that they are still verifying the situation. The Montreal police added that people should “avoid the sector.”
