The Laval Police Department said the four teenagers will face charges of rioting and public mischief. Two of them are still in custody.

The investigation is still ongoing and other arrests and searches cannot be ruled out, the police force said.

Recall that on three occasions in the last nine days, Poly-Jeunesse and Curé-Antoine-Labelle secondary schools have been the target of threatening comments. Even if these threats turn out to be hoaxes, they require control measures and significant police deployment.
