Niverville and St. Pierre-Jolys RCMP are reporting that two male youths have recently been arrested and charged after uttering threats at the Lorette Collegiate.
On December 21, 2023, at approximately 11:40am, RCMP responded to a report of threats at the Lorette Collegiate.
Officers immediately attended the scene and arrested a male student without incident, just outside the school. Investigation determined that the male youth had uttered threats and shared it on social media.
Police say that a number of witness statements were obtained that led officers to launch a second investigation into a threat that had been made earlier in the week by another male youth who had also uttered threats and shared it on social media. This youth was located at his residence and was arrested without incident.
Officers noted that both youths are students at the school.
RCMP report that both individuals are now facing a charge of uttering threats and were released on an undertaking with conditions. They are scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
Members noted that a number of police vehicles remained at the school during the morning hours as a precaution.
