Threat Forces Lockdown of Nanaimo Secondary School

A threat against Dover Bay Secondary School in Nanaimo on Friday forced a lockdown of the school and a hold and secure order at a nearby elementary school.

It was later lifted and parents were able to pick up their children.

The RCMP is not revealing any details about the nature of the threat.

A nearby elementary school initiated a hold-and-secure as a precaution.
