Police were called to the business in the area of Wonderland Road South and Viscount Road just after 11:20 a.m. Thursday after an employee called 911 to report the threat.

The business was evacuated and no bomb was found. At that point, police learned the same business had received threats on Jan. 12 and Jan. 17.

The London Police Service Cyber Crime Unit, with assistance from the Digital Forensic Unit, took over the investigation. Police announced charges on Friday.

The 14-year-old, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, faces charges related to uttering threats and mischief over $5,000.
