Two 14-year-old girls have been arrested and charged after a text message had been received containing threats against the personal safety of several students at a Selkirk school.
On December 31, 2009, the Selkirk RCMP Detachment received a report of a text message that had been received containing threats against the personal safety of several students at the Selkirk Junior High School.
