Williams Lake RCMP received a bomb threat against the city’s fire hall in the early morning hours Saturday morning.
“The RCMP are aware of the bomb report and responded strategically with the fire department later determining it was unfounded,” said Insp. Jeff Pelley, OIC of the Williams Lake RCMP detachment.
“The RCMP take these reports very seriously given they impact the City Protective Services, including the police response. We will continue to investigate these events and use every effort to identify the suspect (or suspects) responsible in order to hold them fully accountable.”
WLFD Chief Erick Peterson confirmed WLFD members and RCMP attended the hall at shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday.
“Police quickly determined the threat was false,” Peterson said.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the police at 250-392-6211 or Crime Stoppers.
