Montreal police arrest 6 teenagers for alleged threats against schools in possible 'confession' trend
CTV
Montreal police (SPVM) have arrested six teenagers for allegedly making threats against multiple schools across the Greater Montreal area in recent days that they believe is part of a 'confession' trend on social media.
This comes as a high school in Châteauguay, on Montreal's South Shore, closed its doors for the day due to threats on social media.
Police confirmed the teens arrested are between the ages of 13 and 17 years old.
The trend, according to police, involves students creating fake social media profiles to post anonymous messages to "spread fear and confusion," the SPVM said in a news release.
Little did the teens know, their social media behaviour wasn't so anonymous, police said, who issued a serious warning to others who are thinking of jumping in on the trend.
