Manitoba RCMP arrested a Thompson high school student Thursday morning in connection with a bomb threat at R.D. Parker Collegiate in the northern Manitoba city.
Police said they were alerted to a note containing a bomb threat Wednesday afternoon, which led to the school being evacuated.
A search by the RCMP’s explosives disposal unit and Thompson Fire Department didn’t find anything suspicious, and the school was cleared for students and staff to safely return later on Wednesday.
