Police Investigating Bomb Threat at Motherhouse
On January 3rd, 2024, members of the North Bay Police Service responded to a bomb threat at the Motherhouse, located on Main St. West in North Bay.
Just before noon on January 3rd, 2024, the North Bay Police Service received information about a suspicious email that had been received at the Sisters of St. Joseph of Sault Ste Marie Motherhouse, located on Main Street West, in North Bay. Officers immediately responded and learned that several emails had been received that morning in relation to a suspicious package that had been left in the building recently. The residents and staff of the Motherhouse were evacuated from the building, and nearby businesses were notified of the investigation. A thorough search of the property was completed by police, and no explosives were found. Later that day, it was determined that the bomb threat was unfounded, and the occupants were able to safely return.
The North Bay Police Service’s Criminal Investigations Unit, with the assistance of the OPP, will continue with the investigation, in hopes that a suspect will be identified.
