A La Loche youth is making a court appearance in his community today after allegedly calling in a bomb threat to a local high school earlier this week.

 

The RCMP say the bomb threat was received by school staff on Monday, which prompted a temporary evacuation of the Dene Building of La Loche Community School.

 

The building was searched, but nothing suspicious was found.

 

That same day, local Mounties arrested and charged a male youth from the community.

 

He is facing charges of uttering threats and mischief.

 

The youth has been in custody since his arrest.
