A 16-year-old boy is facing charges after allegedly making threats to bring weapons to Citadel High School.

Police say the teen was arrested at his home around 3 a.m., Wednesday, and a number of weapons were seized.

As a result, there will be a heavy police presence at the school Thursday, to support students and staff.

It is not believed there is any more threat to the school, and no one else is thought to be involved.

The boy’s identity is protected under a publication ban and is scheduled to appear in youth justice court today facing these charges:

• Possession of a prohibited weapon
• Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose (2 counts)
• Possession of a prohibited weapon without a license
• Uttering threats

Police say the investigation is ongoing and complex.
