Montreal police are ramping up efforts to crack down on organized crime and the recruitment of teens into street gangs.

Police Chief Fady Dagher made a public plea Thursday in wake of suspected extortion attempts authorities believe are behind a spate of firebombing of businesses.

The development comes after the recent arrests of seven teens between the ages of 14 and 17 who allegedly belong to a gang based in St-Léonard borough.
