A reporter from the newspaper, La Voix de l'Est, received a phone call at 1:45 p.m, from a man who stated that he was with l' Armee de Liberation du Quebec and that a bomb had been placed in Granby City Hall. At 2:08 p.m, an officer found a cardboard box under the oil tanks in the basement of the building with a message written on it: ""Danger, Ne pas toucher"" The bomb comprised three sticks of dynamite and two batteries. It was dismantled and taken to a vacant lot and blown up."
