Neepawa Safeway threatened

Posted by Kate
This morning Neepawa's Safeway store is closed and under watch by the RCMP. Sgt. Line Karpish, media relations for the RCMP, said that they received a call and are implementing "proper safety measures".
Karpish declined to comment on the nature of the call or threat. She didn't know when the store would re-open but said, "It could be a little while".


Update:

Shortly after lunch, a sniffer dog was checking the building.


Update 2: As of 3pm, Safeway was re-opened.
