Written by John Williamson on 25/04/2018
Cumbria Police have this afternoon been investigating a threat made to employees at Cumbria County Council.
The County Council, in accordance with protocol, shut down both the Busher Walk, Kendal, and Parkhouse, Carlisle premises.
Armed police were deployed to those premises as a precaution.
A 52-year-old Kendal person has now been arrested in connection with the threats made.
There was no perceived threat to the wider public, and this is not being treated as a terrorist incident.
