A man has been charged after a weekend bomb threat at a Northland rest home.
Almost 30 people from the Shalom Rest Home in Whangarei had to be evacuated in hot temperatures on Saturday.
A hoax call claimed there was a bomb underneath the property.
Police searched, but never found anything.
A 50-year-old man will appear in the Whangarei District Court this morning charged with threatening to cause harm.
It carries a maximum seven year prison term.
