A bomb threat in Quinte West forced the evacuation of several businesses Monday afternoon, drawing a large police response and raising concern in the community.
The threat was reported at the Trenton Town Centre, a busy retail plaza on Dundas Street East. Shoppers and employees at nearby businesses, including Giant Tiger, were asked to leave the premises while police and emergency crews secured the area.
Quinte West OPP, along with fire and EMS personnel, responded quickly to the scene. Officers conducted a sweep of the property, and traffic in the immediate area was briefly restricted to ensure public safety.
By late afternoon, authorities confirmed that no threat was found and businesses were permitted to reopen. No injuries were reported, and police have not disclosed whether any suspects have been identified in connection to the incident.
Although the situation was resolved without harm, officials emphasized that threats of this nature are taken seriously and can result in significant criminal charges.
The investigation is ongoing.
