The tower was subsequently evacuated. With the assistance of the Integrated Police Dog Services (IPDS), a thorough search was conducted and no threats were located.
The RCMP and YVR take threats of this nature very seriously, says Corporal Melissa Lui, Media Relations Officer of the Richmond RCMP. After the initial investigation, investigators determined this to be a false report, and that there is no credible threat to public safety.
