🚨 Dramatic lockdown at Ysgol Bro Myrddin, Carmarthen! 🚨 Armed police rushed to the scene after a chilling threat against a pupil put the entire school on high alert. Officers swiftly locked down the premises, keeping students in their classrooms while ensuring no one entered or exited the grounds.
👮♂️ Police presence was hard to miss with officers at the gates, sniffer dogs roaming the grounds, and even a drone surveying the area from above. All of this following the arrest of a 17-year-old from Carmarthenshire on suspicion of making threats to kill.
🔒 The lockdown took place later in the school day, leading to a queue of buses waiting to pick up students. Fortunately, after about an hour and a half, things calmed down, and students were safely on their way home around 5:45 pm.
📢 In an effort to reassure everyone, Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed that while the school will resume as usual on Thursday, there will be an additional police presence to keep everyone safe and supported.
Stay safe, everyone, and make sure to look out for each other! 💙 #Carmarthen #SchoolLockdown #StaySafe #CommunityFirst
