A 11-year-old boy was arrested for being in possession of an unlicensed firearm next to a school in Cravenby Estate.
The City’s JP Smith says law enforcement liquor unit were flagged down by a member of the public.
“They searched the area and found the boy next to a school in the area, firearm in hand,” Smith says.
“The details around the case are yet to be determined, but there are allegations that the child was sent to attack another child at the school, and threatened a teacher in the process.
“This is deeply disturbing, and we hope that the appropriate social services interventions can take place to put this young boy on a different path.”
