RCMP investigating after suspicious packages received at 5 Manitoban courthouses

RCMP are investigating after courthouses in Thompson, Winnipeg, Brandon, Morden, and Minnedosa received suspicious packages Wednesday evening.

 

In a press briefing today, RCMP Assistant Commission Kevin Brosseau said the packages were large envelopes that contained documents but wouldn't say whether they were mailed or delivered to the doorsteps.

 

The first of the packages were received in Thompson where two people experienced shortness of breath, believed to be caused by the packages.

 

Air quality testing done at the buildings showed no signs of contamination and police say the public is not at risk.
