Swatow Plaza

Montreal Chinatown Restaurant Imperial Robbed During Curfew | Eater Montreal

"A neighbouring barbecue counter owned by one of Impérial’s proprietors, Charsiu was shown in the same photos to be in total disarray on the ground floor of Swatow Plaza and was affected by the same theft; security footage indicates masked figures broke into the Saint-Laurent Boulevard space and removed a cash drawer containing $500 in about a minute. The owner says the thieves exploited the emptier streets caused by the province-wide curfew, and the incident adds costs and safety concerns to businesses in Chinatown that have already faced vandalism and break-ins since the start of the pandemic." - Valerie Silva
