TORONTO — Provincial police have lifted lockdown and hold-and-secure warnings at several schools in Caledon, Ont. that had been prompted by two separate police investigations.
Caledon OPP said there was a robbery at one school and a student received a digital photo of a weapon at another.
Police said the student contacted school administration to report that he had received the photo of a gun at about 1:10 p.m. at Mayfield Secondary School on Wednesday. Police said the investigation is ongoing but confirmed that no threat had been made.
