Police say they have arrested a man who allegedly made threats against the mayor of Brampton, Ont., and his family last month.
Peel Regional Police say a 29-year-old man was taken into custody Tuesday and charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.
Police say they were notified of the threats in late June and they provided Mayor Patrick Brown and his family with protection during the investigation.
Investigators believe the accused acted alone and is no longer an active threat to the mayor or the community.
Brown has thanked police for their investigation and says his family is relieved to learn of the arrest.
The mayor has said it’s not the first time he’s been threatened, and he expects it won’t be the last.
“Violence and threats of violence have no place in a democracy. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the citizens of Brampton, and threats will not deter me from doing the job they elected me to do,” Brown said in a social media post Wednesday.
