The 33-year-old man alleged to have made false bomb threats against Cook Strait ferry services has been remanded in custody. Harley John Davies appeared via audiaovisual link in the Blenheim District Court on Monday on a charge of threatening to harm people and property. Police allege he threatened that there was a bomb on board an Interislander ferry and Bluebridge ferry last Monday morning. The charge carries a maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment.
On Monday, the threat saw police search two ferries and the Picton ferry terminal, forcing passengers to disembark and face long delays. Specialist police staff arrived by helicopter from Wellington to search both the Interislander and Bluebridge ferries in Picton about 10.35am, 2½ hours after passengers were first asked to disembark. Marlborough area commander Inspector Simon Feltham said nothing “of significance” had been found and ferry crossings resumed on Monday afternoon.
