No bomb was found at the Chilliwack courthouse Tuesday morning. The all-clear was given at about 11:40 a.m. after police search dogs combed the building and found no evidence of an explosive.

The courthouse on Main Street had been evacuated and locked down for about an hour. Police and court sheriffs set up a perimeter around the building, and search dogs called in to determine if the threat was real.

There were no high profile court cases happening at the time, but two jury trials were disrupted.


Should be noted, we only have 1 jury courtroom which was being used for a Judge-alone trial. The rest is pretty accurate though. Made for a nice 2 hour coffee break though :)
