The 4 booksellers found the threatening mail in their letter boxes on Wednesday morning. According to local police, action will be taken following consultation with the Crisis Centre. They have yet to reveal what type of action is under consideration. Videos captured by CCTV around the targeted bookstores are currently being examined.
