Nipawin RCMP may know who’s responsible for a series of prank calls resulting in the temporary closure of two healthcare facilities in the town.
“At this point, we have persons of interest. We also…know the number the calls came from and at this time we’re not going to release any information of who may have owned that cell phone,” Darren Wouters detachment commander with Nipawin RCMP said.
Police said a 911 call came in at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Thursday Feb. 25, of a bomb threat. They received another call from a person who said they’d harm themselves. A third “threatening” call came in at 6 a.m.
“I think…on the third call that came in early this morning it was a woman again whispering in a low voice about a bomb in the hospital,” Wouters said.
