Students followed the School's lockdown procedure, and no injuries were reported. Officers are still investigating the incident and will take the appropriate action.

Possession of an offensive weapon is a serious offence and can see offenders jailed for up to four years, face unlimited fines, or both upon successful conviction in court.
