'The arrest being made should put some ease into our community knowing that we accomplished what we said we were going to do,' says Barrie police official
Yesterday, exactly eight months to the day after the September 2023 bombing near the Anne Street bridge over Highway 400, Barrie police say they have arrested their suspect.
An improvised explosive device had been placed around the gas-cap area of a white SUV in the lot. The device had exploded, damaging surrounding vehicles, prior to emergency crews arriving. When asked by BarrieToday if there are any other suspects being sought, Barrie police communications co-ordinator Peter Leon would only say the investigation is still ongoing and he couldn't comment any further other than the arrest.
When asked last month about a possible motive, police said they could not comment because it formed part of the investigation.
