Two teenagers have been charged with mischief and uttering threats after a Halifax-area school received threats earlier this week.
In a release, Halifax Regional Police said a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old were arrested Thursday in relation to an incident at J.L. Ilsley High School on Tuesday. They are scheduled to appear in youth court at a later date.
