A man was arrested Tuesday night after he claimed to have a bomb in his suite.
Just before 6 pm, Victoria Police responded to a call about a possible explosive device in a suite in the 500-block of Ellice Street.
The building was evacuated and BC Transit provided buses for a couple of hours for residents to shelter in while officers investigated.
The explosives unit and a canine team safely cleared the suite without locating an explosive device.
The man was released with conditions to appear in court at a future date.
