Guelph police say they’ve nabbed two teenagers as part of an ongoing investigation related to a large school fight.

Police said they were called to Centennial CVI on Jan. 24 after receiving reports that about 20 students were fighting.

The fight was broken up but many of the people involved were allegedly still present in and outside of the school.

All parties told investigators that they were involved, but police said they could not determine whether the incident was an assault.

Investigators said two of the students involved were identified as the aggressors and the fight was related to an incident the month before.

That incident involved some of the same people in the fight and the school handled it internally.
