LCCVI placed under brief hold and secure

Concerns about a potentially armed individual prompted a brief hold and secure at Petrolia's high school on Thursday.

Lambton OPP said officers responded to a disturbance at around 2:20 p.m.

During that time, Lambton Central Collegiate & Vocational Institute (LCCVI) went into a hold and secure, which lasted about 25 minutes.

OPP posted the advisory to social media shortly after 3 p.m.

"One individual is in police custody without incident, and no others are being sought. There is no threat to public safety," said West Region OPP in a social media post.

Police said no other details will be released at this time as the investigation is ongoing.

According to LCCVI's website, students are typically let out of period D at 2:20 p.m.

Sarnia News Today has reached out to the Lambton Kent District School Board for comment but did not receive a reply at the time of publication.
