THUNDER BAY — Thunder Bay Police are questioning an individual in connection with a threat that was made Wednesday morning against Thunder Bay Transit.
All buses were pulled from service and evacuated after a bomb threat was received around 9:30.
In a brief statement, police said they have detained a person who may be connected to the threat, but the investigation is continuing.
They said there is no current threat to public safety, but transit service remained suspended as of 11:10 a.m.
Local Amalgamated Transit Union President Fred Caputo told Dougall Media that police are sweeping all buses that were in service as well as those in the transit garage on Fort William Road.
Caputo said later that transit service is not expected to resume until 6 p.m. Wednesday.
That has now been confirmed in a statement from the city.
The statement described the situation as "contained."
It said the city appreciates passengers' patience and understanding during the suspension of service.
