RIPTB issues two updates on public-safety operations

The Régie intermunicipale de police Thérèse-De Blainville (RIPTB) has released two separate advisories to the public in late October and early November 2025, reporting on parallel public-safety concerns in its service territory.

Disorder at Parc Lorraine

On 23 October 2025, RIPTB notified the public that over recent weeks it had received several calls and information regarding a group of individuals who were causing disorder at Parc Lorraine in the municipality of Lorraine. According to the notice, the situation had generated concern among local residents.

In response, the police service says it has taken concrete steps: several arrests were carried out in connection with various acts of mischief and fires that occurred in different locations across the territory. The investigation remains ongoing and additional arrests are expected. The RIPTB is working closely with the City of Lorraine to restore a sense of safety and tranquillity. Key measures already in place include:

Regular and targeted patrols in the affected sectors.

Involvement of the intelligence and police-analysis unit to clarify the problem, which the RIPTB says extends beyond Lorraine’s municipal boundaries.

Efforts by the investigations bureau and the prevention department to identify more than twenty individuals involved in the misconduct.

The RIPTB emphasises that proactive policing continues, and the cooperation of citizens remains essential.

Pedestrian-vehicle collision on Boulevard Curé-Labelle

On 2 November 2025, the RIPTB confirmed that a serious accident involving a vehicle and a pedestrian occurred at approximately 8:35 a.m. on Boulevard Curé-Labelle in Sainte-Thérèse. According to first findings, a man in his sixties who was walking was struck by a car and transported to hospital with injuries described as serious. The driver was also conveyed to hospital as a precaution.

Inspectress-Chief Karine Desaulniers noted that the causes and circumstances of the collision remain to be determined. Investigators from RIPTB, supported by a collision-investigation technician from the Sûreté du Québec, will examine the scene thoroughly and interview witnesses. As a result of the intervention, a southbound lane of Boulevard Curé-Labelle was closed temporarily; motorists are asked to proceed with caution and observe the temporary signage.

For additional information, members of the public are invited to contact the communications service of the RIPTB.
