Trivia

On August 26, 1972, five days after escaping from Saint-Vincent-de-Paul jail in Laval, Quebec, notorious French criminal Jacques Mesrine and his Quebec accomplice Jean-Paul Mercier robbed the Caisse populaire of Saint-Narcisse-de-Beaurivage. Ten minutes earlier, they had robbed the caisse of Saint-Bernard, for a total of $26,000 that day.[4]
