MONTREAL — Police have two suspects in a string of firebombings of Montreal's coffee shops.

They have released the photo and name of one of those suspects - 18-year-old Mickendy Demosthene.

A handful of cafes have been hit with Molotov cocktails in recent weeks, although nobody has been hurt in the overnight attacks.

Police recently said they were stumped.

None of the victims were talking, and authorities were left with a handful of theories.

Those theories have included a possible Mafia war, or a move by street gangs to claim a piece of the Mob's turf.
