Man charged after allegedly threatening Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown
The threats against Brown and his family were reported to police in late June, investigators said in a news release Wednesday.
"As a precaution, enhanced security measures were provided to ensure their safety while the matter was investigated," according to the news release.
Police say officers arrested Kanwarjyot Singh Manoria, a 29-year-old man from Brampton, on Tuesday. He's been charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm and was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
In a social media post, Brown thanked police for their work and expressed relief that someone had been arrested.
"Violence and threats of violence have no place is a democracy," Brown wrote.
"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."
Police say they believe the accused acted alone and "is no longer an active threat to the mayor, his family or the community."
