A 16-year old boy from Trenton has been charged with two criminal offences in connection with Friday’s incident at Prince Edward Collegiate Institute.
Around 11 a.m. Friday, Prince Edward OPP say school officials were told about some threatening messages directed towards a student at the school and while the person who sent those messages wasn’t in the building, a precautionary hold and secure was put in place.
Investigators found the threats were sent by a boy who is not a student at the school, but knows the person who was threatened and were able to track the suspect via social media and other techniques.
The male youth remains in custody and will attend a bail hearing in Belleville on Monday May 14 to answer to charges of Uttering Threats to Cause Death or Bodily Harm and Harassing Communications.
