A bomb scare near Parliament Hill that drew investigative resources from major national security services appears to have been based on bad information.

Police descended on the area surrounding the parliament buildings Saturday after receiving what sources called credible intelligence about potential explosives in the area.

The Ottawa Police Service searched two vehicles – one located three blocks south of Parliament Hill, and another near the Supreme Court – and detained at least two people.

The initial tip was detailed and included names, photographs and license plate numbers.

The searches turned up no explosives, and Ottawa cops said there was no imminent threat to the public.
