Police said the 29-year-old Manoria was taken into custody Tuesday and charged with making threats to kill or cause bodily harm.

Peel police have arrested a Punjabi youth, Kanwarjot Singh Manoria, in connection with threats to kill Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown. Police said the 29-year-old Manoria was taken into custody Tuesday and charged with making threats to kill or cause bodily harm.

The threats about Brown and his family were received by the mayor's office via email two to three weeks ago. In view of this, a security force was deployed to protect Brown's home and his family for two weeks.

Peel police said on Wednesday that at this time, investigators believe that Kanwarjot Singh Manoria acted alone. Police have seized his electronic devices. It is not yet known what the motive was behind the threats against Mayor Brown.
