Bomb threat sent to BC NDP campaign office [Video]

A BC NDP campaign office in Campbell River received a bomb threat Friday afternoon, according to the party.

A campaign manager received the threat while working at the Campbell River office, which is part of the North Island riding, campaign spokesperson Heather Stoutenburg said in a statement.

“Police were immediately alerted and our staff was asked to temporarily vacate that campaign office,” she wrote.

Video from the scene, which the BC NDP says was taken by a campaign volunteer, shows police cars in a parking lot.

CTV News has reached out to the RCMP for more information.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
