Police are on the scene investigating after an explosive was set off outside the office of North Vancouver MLA Bowinn Ma.
Police have the area around Ma’s office in Lower Lonsdale taped off on Friday morning.
The dark marks of an earlier explosion could be seen on the front door of the office and on the nearby pavement. Pieces of the door that appear to have exploded off of it were also lying on the ground.
Ma issued a statement just before 11 a.m.
“All meetings and appointments at my constituency office are cancelled for the day due to a security incident that occurred in the early hours of this morning,” she wrote. “Thankfully, nobody was injured, but incidents like this can be quite frightening.”
Ma said she appreciated the concern expressed by community members.
“I am grateful to serve such a caring and compassionate community. I’d also like to thank the officers who responded for their diligence and professionalism. Due to the active police investigation, I will not be able to provide more details at this time,” she said.
North Shore News has reached out to police for comment.
