Threats to Local Schools

On November 14, 2018, both the local Public School Board and the Catholic School Board schools have been dealing with threats to various schools under their care. Since then the Sarnia Police Service Youth Branch and Criminal Investigation Branch have investigated the matter and have a suspect in custody. The suspect is not from Sarnia or Lambton County. At this time officers have been sent to pick up the accused and return him to Sarnia to face charges in this matter. We would like to reassure the public that the Sarnia Police Service does not believe that anyone’s safety is in jeopardy. We hope to have further information to share tomorrow morning as the investigation continues.
