BOSTON — A 42-year-old man in Canada has been arrested in connection with making bomb threats that targeted several Boston-area sites, including Boston Children’s Hospital.
Beginning on Sept. 9, a series of bomb threats were sent online to Boston Children’s Hospital. Then over the next four days, several more bomb threats were received at the Prudential Center, Orpheum Theater, Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Public Library.
All of these threats had similar details and appeared to have originated in Canada, according to Boston Police Department investigators who contacted Canadian authorities and shared their findings with members of the Peterborough Police Service.
