RCMP looking for person who made ‘serious threats’ against school

RCMP are working on identifying the person who called in a number of serious threats against Portage Collegiate Institute in Portage la Prairie on Wednesday, September 16, 2020.

The school was placed on immediate lockdown minutes after police received the call around 11:00 am. Officers from the Portage la Prairie detachment as well as a bomb sniffing K-9 from Police Dog Services were called in.

A search of the school did not detect any suspicious people or packages within or around the school.

Police say that two people were briefly detained and questioned but they were released once officers determined they were not involved.

Anyone with information that can help police with this investigation is asked to call RCMP at (204) 857-4445
