A bomb threat was reported to Peel Regional Police last night after a suspicious package was found in the City Centre area in Mississauga.

On Friday (Aug. 12) at approximately 10:30 p.m., police responded to a call of a suspicious-looking package along City Centre Dr. and Duke of York Blvd.

There was also a big event being held at Celebration Square at the time the incident was reported.
