The Nanaimo RCMP say a youth was arrested after they were spotted pointing what appeared to be a firearm at passing motorists on Thursday morning.
Three nearby schools – Wellington Secondary, Departure Bay Elementary and Rock City Elementary – were placed under a hold-and-secure procedure because of the call.
Police say a 14-year-old suspect was located and arrested in a home in the 3800-block of Departure Bay Road Thursday.A hold-and-secure means all entrances to a school are locked, and no one is allowed to leave or enter. Normal activities, like classes, can continue within the school during a hold-and-secure, according to Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools.
