''For now, we will put our efforts into questioning the two minors, extract as much information as we can," saidAbdullah Emran, aspokesman for the Montreal police.

Online pictures real?

Confirmation from police came soon after pictureswere posted online. One photo shows someone standing over a pile of foam. Another picture shows the foam on fire.

The images were posted toSnapchatand appeared later on an online real estate forum.

ButEmran said policeare not certain of the validity of the photos.

"Are these pictures real? Were they created by someone? It still needs to be determined.''

Ninety firefighters put out the blaze Saturday after receiving calls of black smoke coming from the building around 4:30 p.m. The building was left with extensive damage to the roof.

Police later called the fire "suspicious" since there were no utilities in the building and nothing that could have caught fire on its own. By Monday, police confirmed the incident to be arson.
