On June 3, 2022, at 1:50 pm, St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP received a report of a note found at École/Collège Régional Gabrielle-Roy in Ile-des-Chenes with comments that were construed as being threatening in nature. The threat indicated there could be an incident that may occur at the high school on June 6.
Over the course of the weekend, officers worked diligently to discover who was behind the threat. Working with the Division Scolaire Franco-Manitobaine (DSFM), a safety plan was put in to place for the arrival of staff and students on June 6.
On that morning, officers from St-Pierre-Jolys, along with our Police Dog Services unit, attended to the high school to conduct a search of the property prior to the arrival of staff and students. Once the property was secured, they were allowed to enter.
The investigation led to the Monday morning arrest of a 17-year-old male, from southeastern Manitoba, for Uttering Threats. He has been released from police custody and will appear in court scheduled August 12, 2022, in St-Pierre-Jolys.
St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP continue to investigate.
