OPP Investigate Threat in Fort Frances

OPP continue to try to find out who tried to extort money out of a Fort Frances financial institution.

The Northern Lights Credit Union was closed yesterday after a bag was found at its back door.

OPP Constable Anne McCoy says it also came with a threatening note.

McCoy says the note also indicated of consequences to other businesses and schools if the demand wasn't meant.

That prompted police to ask schools to implement a "hold and secure" positions which required them to lock all doors and closely monitor those entering while police investigated.
