One northwestern Ontario community was on the receiving end as dozens of cities across North America received bomb threats on Thursday.
Provincial Police responded to a call just after 1 o’clock Thursday afternoon in the Railway Street area of Kenora.
The threat, like others, were deemed as an extortion attempt and a hoax.
Police say the threats were sent via email, targeting businesses and institutions, demanding a payment in bitcoins.
The OPP’s Criminal Investigation Branch is handling the matter out of Ontario.
