Oxford OPP say charges are pending after a member of the public found a note threatening violence at a number of area schools.
Officers reported they were first contacted around 1:20 p.m. on Monday, September 3 after a concerned citizen found the note.
The missive, a picture of which was also posted on social media, said there would be violence at several schools in the Thames Valley District School Board and one in the Grand Erie District School Board.
The investigation led them to arrest one male youth in connection with the case around 5:30 p.m. Monday, OPP said.
