THUNDER BAY -- The city police service says a cyber security threat led to their non-emergency phone system being taken off line.
Thunder Bay police late Wednesday confirmed service to their phone system was interrupted as a precaution earlier in the day due to the unspecified threat.
The 911 emergency line was not affected and officers continued to respond to calls for service.
The non-emergency phone lines were back in service around 3 p.m.
A statement from police communications director Chris Adams said the issue was isolated to the police service and dealt with by their technology staff.
