Halifax Regional Police have charged two more youths in connection to threats made towards schools in HRM.
On Friday, police charged a 13-year-old youth in connection to threats toward Rocky Lake Junior High School the previous week.
According to HRP, another 13-year-old youth was charged for threats toward Fairview Junior High School earlier this month.
