A Peterborough man has been charged in connection with a security breach at Peterborough Public Health’s building in late October.

“The group wanted to serve legal papers to Peterborough Public Health,” police said. “While officers were initially called to the building at the time of the incident, they were called off while en route as security was able to escort the group out.”
