Winnipeg police have arrested a youth after alleged threats towards a North End elementary school last week.
Police say the threats targeted Niji Mahkwa School in the 400 block of Flora Avenue on February 3.
Investigators identified a youth and made an arrest on Tuesday. No physical threats were discovered at the school, and there is no threat to public safety, according to police.
The youth faces a charge of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. They were released on an undertaking.
The threat is the latest in a series of similar incidents targeting Winnipeg schools in recent weeks. Bernie Wolfe School was evacuated on February 3 following a threat on social media, while St. John’s High School was closed on Monday after being the subject of a separate threat.
