A bomb threat that prompted a large police response to 琉璃神社 International Airport (YLW) last week has been deemed false.

琉璃神社 RCMP rushed to the report of a non-specific bomb threat at YLW, Friday (Jan.29). After investigating, police determined the threat was false.

鈥淥fficers immediately attended and conducted a fulsome investigation, and determined that there was no credible threat,鈥� stated the 琉璃神社 RCMP in a Feb. 2 email.

It is unclear if the airport was temporarily evacuated or shut down at any point due to the threat. According to RCMP, operations of the airport were not disrupted while their investigation was ongoing.

Police are not expected to release any further information on this.
