Portage la Prairie RCMP are reporting that two male youths have recently been arrested in connection to an investigation involving threats being made towards a local school.
On September 5, 2025, at approximately 8:10am, Portage la Prairie RCMP received a complaint from a local school about a 17-year-old male student that had made online threats. Officers quickly attended the school and located the student in the parking lot. He was then placed under arrest without further incident.
