Bridgewater youth appears in court in alleged school attack plot

A 15-year-old Bridgewater youth charged in connection with an alleged school attack plot appeared in court Monday.

They were in Bridgewater Youth Court for a bail hearing, where the case was adjourned at the request of the defence.

The matter has been set over until April 22 for a show cause hearing.

The youth is facing charges including conspiracy to commit murder and uttering threats.

Police allege the charges stem from online conversations with another youth in Manitoba, where the two discussed the possibility of carrying out coordinated attacks at their schools.

Both youths were arrested last week as part of the investigation, which involved local police and international partners.

The accused remains in custody pending her next court appearance.
