Thunder Bay police have arrested a 13-year-old from Thunder Bay, Ont., following an investigation into online threats of a potential school attack.

The Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS) says its hate crime investigator began an investigation on Oct. 6 into possible online communication that potentially involved a threat to the public in Thunder Bay and another country. TBPS was assisted in the investigation by the FBI, Interpol, and the RCMP, the police force said in an Oct. 15 news release.
