A Lindsay man faces charges following an investigation into an alleged bomb threat made against a Durham Region restaurant early Monday.
City of Kawartha Lakes Police Service say around 1:13 a.m., a man allegedly used a payphone in Lindsay to call a restaurant in the Durham Region. An employee who answered the phone says the caller stated he had left a bomb at the restaurant and said the device would detonate in one hour.
Durham Region Police Service responded to the restaurant to investigate the threat, according to Sgt. Dave Murtha of the City of Kawartha Lakes Police Service.
