The Ontario Provincial Police have charged a man in Hawkesbury, Ont., for allegedly plotting to kill multiple individuals.
The OPP said Wednesday that police had received a complaint about threatening messages on June 21, which led them to a campground on County Road 19 in East Hawkesbury Township, roughly an hour east of Ottawa.
OPP investigations determined that a person “had been developing a plan to kill individuals.”
An OPP spokesperson told Global News on Wednesday that the plot was a “targeted plan,” with “no potential threat to the general public.”
