A brown paper bag reading “I AM A BOMB” was left on a bus parked at York University on Saturday, Nov. 8. Once emergency services arrived on the scene, thousands of people were evacuated from a 300-yard radius.
A bomb squad found the bag was harmless.
During the evacuation, 20-year-old Breanne Grant approached the police and confessed to the hoax. Grant, along with 24-year-old Joshua Boles and 25-year-old Sebastien Kwidzinski, are charged with false message, common nuisance, and mischief interfering with property.
Update: Charges against Kwidzinski and Boles were dropped on Dec. 16 before Justice of the Peace Danbrooke upon the request of the Crown. Officer-in-charge Detective Mike Proctor of Division 31 could not say why the charges were dropped.
Grant is still facing charges, and is due to appear in court on May 5.
