Osterville man faces bogus bomb threat chargesOSTERVILLE - Barnstable police arrested a man who allegedly called in a bomb threat on several real estate institutions because he was late for a real estate exam yesterday.

Richard J. Burrill, 24, of Osterville called Barnstable police at 7:30 a.m. yesterday threatening real estate exam centers across the state, according to Barnstable police Sgt. Sean Sweeney.
The Woburn real estate testing office was evacuated and the Barnstable office of Kinlin Grover Real Estate was closed down for a short time because of the threats.

Barnstable detectives worked with the state police anti-terrorist unit to trace the calls to the White Hen Pantry in Osterville.

Burrill admitted to calling Dartmouth police to report a suspicious car with men of Russian or Middle Eastern descent in the parking lot of the Dartmouth real estate testing office, Sweeney said.

Burrill was apparently scheduled to take a real estate exam at the Dartmouth testing center.
Investigators traced the phone calls to the White Hen Pantry and were able to track Burrill down within twelve hours, Sweeney said.

Burrill was charged with communicating a false report of a bomb, which is a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. He was held overnight on $2,500 cash bail at the Barnstable police station.

He is scheduled to be arraigned in Barnstable District Court today
