This guy has been tracked down by police for making online threats to Pearson airport in light of all the events taking place these days.

A 49-year-old Thornhill man was charged on January 15 with three counts of uttering threats, Peel police say.

Members of the Peel Regional Police Airport Division say threats were made through social media against the Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA), which is Canada’s busiest airport.

The sprawling facility is Canada’s largest airport, facilitating travel for over 47 million passengers and handling over 312,000 tons of air cargo a year before COVID-19 struck.

“The GTAA has received multiple threats through social media from November 2020 to January 2021,” police said in a release. “After a thorough investigation, investigators have arrested a man.”

The name of the man has not been released. He is slated to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date.

It is not known where the threats were made from or what it included.

Investigators take all types of threats seriously. Anyone who may have information concerning this investigation can contact the Airport Division Criminal Investigation Bureau at (905) 453-2121 Ext 3133. Information may also be left anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or by visiting www.peelcrimestoppers.ca
