Saskatoon police say a teenager is facing charges after investigating an online threat towards a school in the city’s Blairmore SC neighbourhood.
The threat to cause violence at a high school in the 100-block of Bowlt Crescent was reportedly made on a social media platform at roughly 7 p.m. on Monday, according to a police report.
An investigation led officers to a west-side home where they arrested the 15-year-old boy.
The teen is facing charges of uttering threats and mischief. He appeared in Saskatoon provincial court on Tuesday.
Police don’t believe there was a risk to public safety, but said threats of this nature are taken very seriously.
