Some tense moments at Niagara Regional Headquarters after police were called in to investigate a threat.

Police say officers were called to the Thorold building by staff yesterday afternoon just before 4:00, after they received a threatening phone call.

Roads in the area and access to the building were temporarily closed while members of the Emergency Task Unit cleared the building.

After a search, police determined there was no threat to staff or the building and roads were reopened just after 5:00.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-688-4111, extension 1009495.
