Police raided an ultra-Orthodox Jewish school in Montreal’s Rosemont—La-Petite-Patrie borough Wednesday.
In the early afternoon, police and youth protection officials were at the school, which might have been operating without a permit, according to reports.
Two police officers escorted a group of 11 women and one man, several of whom are Batshaw Youth Services social workers, from the building around 1 p.m. One of them was holding a cardboard box, another a plastic shopping bag, and another had a red folder. They walked to an adjacent parking lot and left in several cars.
“I can’t tell you much, because the Youth Protection Act has very strict rules regarding confidentiality,” said Claire Roy, a spokesperson for the West Island Centre Integrated University Health and Social Services Centre. “We can’t comment on a precise case, but information may follow when it is available.”
