An incident Friday afternoon that saw access restricted to the public and police officers stationed at the main doors of North Bay City Hall was the result of a threat to someone inside the building.
North Bay Police Service Special Constable John Schultz said in a statement, “There was information received that was perceived to be threatening in nature toward someone,” at City Hall.
The NBPS Community Safety Coordinator adds, “As a precautionary measure access was controlled. The investigation identified the origin of the information and it was determined that there was not a safety issue involved in this situation and access returned to normal.”
