Prince George and Vanderhoof RCMP were busy shortly before 6:00 p.m. yesterday (Wednesday), investigating multiple bomb threats to facilities in each community.
The first call was received at the University Hospital of Northern B.C., with two others being made to assisted living facilities in Prince George and Vanderhoof.
Corporal Jennifer Cooper said officers conducted full investigations throughout the buildings.
“Relevant protocols were enacted at the three locations while we conducted searches. In conjunctions with other investigational factors, we have determined that the bomb threats were both false and related to one another.”
Back on August 21st of this year, the Prince George Courthouse also received a bomb threat, which Cooper said is a concern, as drain on resources.
It’s believed there are no ongoing threats to public safety, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300.
