Boy warned for threatening voicemail at Guelph school

cbc.ca

Police in Guelph have warned an 11-year-old boy after he left a threatening voicemail at Waverley Drive Public School. The message was found on the school's voicemail last Friday morning. Following the threat, school staff moved students to a nearby school for safety. The Waterloo Regional Police Service's canine unit searched the school but found nothing suspicious. Investigators traced the voicemail to a phone owned by a teenager. The teen explained that the boy had used his phone while visiting friends. The boy then asked if the voicemail could be deleted. Police spoke to the boy and his mother about the seriousness of the situation. Since the boy is underage, no charges will be filed against him. This incident happened just weeks after a bomb threat was made at another school in Guelph, where a 14-year-old was charged.
