OTTAWA - Suspects have been identified in Tuesday morning's brazen firebombing of an Ottawa bank, QMI Agency has learned.
The small group of at least four people, believed to be men, are all from the Ottawa area, police sources said.
They are part of a local anti-establishment movement and are the primary focus of an investigation into the 3:30 a.m. firebombing at the Royal Bank of Canada in Ottawa's Glebe neighbourhood.
Police sources said arrests are imminent.
Police said the firebombing wasn't sophisticated and certainly not an act of professionals.
The evidence police have looked at includes surveillance camera footage from a spa about 50 metres east of the bank.
The spa has two high-definition cameras, one pointing directly at First Ave., where the bombing took place, and another west.
It's possible the camera picked up the suspects, two of whom were seen fleeing in the direction of the spa on a separate video posted online by the culprits several hours after the attack.
A third suspect was holding a camera towards the bank from another corner of the intersection.
A fourth person is believed to be the driver of an SUV used as the getaway vehicle.
The suspects' video shows the firebomb going off inside the front of the bank near the ATMs.
As it erupted, one person exited out the side door almost immediately, while another left seconds later as the orange plume engulfed the front of the bank.
Police have also requested local hospital records for burn victims, but it's not believed they came up with anything.
The bank's ATM machines recorded video, which has been handed over to investigators. Police aren't saying if it's been helpful.
The attack - which caused about $500,000 in damages - has been described as "domestic terrorism" by Ottawa Police Chief Vern White..
Police found evidence of accelerants in the rubble Wednesday.
The bank was being boarded up Thursday.
The RCMP and other agencies, including CSIS, are involved in the investigation - though not directly - as the suspects threatened to take their violent behaviour to next month's G8/G20 summits in Huntsville and Toronto.
The prime minister has also been briefed on the investigation.
