N.L. police arrest Quebec man for alleged bomb threat at Labrador airport

Police in Newfoundland have arrested a 30-year-old Quebec man for allegedly making a bomb threat at Wabush Airport. According to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, officers were called to the scene around 8 p.m. on Sunday. Upon their arrival, they found the man had already been removed from an aircraft. The airport subsequently underwent an evacuation and a thorough search. However, authorities determined that the bomb threat was unfounded.

The suspect is now facing charges of public mischief, uttering threats, causing a disturbance, and breach of probation. Transport Canada operates the airport, which serves the communities of Wabush, Labrador City, and Fermont in Quebec.
