North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP have launched an investigation into a student who allegedly made threats towards a school in Chemainus.
On March 31st, school staff called police about the alleged threats, stating they were concerned for the well-being, safety and security of students, staff and faculty.
Officers attended the school and apprehended the suspected student.
According to police, the student was taken to hospital for any medical care they might require, though RCMP claim the individual was uninjured.
North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP are working with School District 79 to ensure appropriate support is provided to any students and families that may feel affected by this incident.
The investigation is ongoing as investigators work to determine and evaluate the nature of the alleged threat.
Police did not reveal the school in question.
