No charges will be laid since the individual in question was under the age of 12. 

Peterborough Police remind residents that these types of calls are taken very seriously, require significant resources to ensure the public’s safety and officers and can result in criminal charges.

At roughly 4:00 p.m. on Sept. 29, officers were called to the dealership where the business was evacuated, set up a perimeter and called the OPP bomb unit for assistance. Just before 1:00 a.m., the OPP Bomb Unit and bomb-detecting dogs were on the scene and did not find anything suspicious or threatening.
