The S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec wishes to inform the public of a case of bogus e-mail bomb threats circulating in Canada.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the end of October 2023, a mass e-mail broadcasting a bomb threat has been circulating in Canada. A monetary ransom is demanded by the sender for the location of the bombs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emails were sent to several schools, but also to other organizations (businesses, booking platforms, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provinces and regions targeted to date include Ontario, Manitoba, Montreal, Quebec City, Eastern and Central Quebec, Mauricie, Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie, Outaouais and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. Multiple checks were carried out by police at the targeted locations, and no explosive devices were found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec is currently coordinating an investigation in collaboration with several police forces across the province. They are asking organizations, establishments and\/or citizens not to respond to these e-mails. If you are targeted by this type of e-mail, they invite you to contact your local police force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For assistance or to report an event<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Report the incident to the police force serving your municipality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
