Police say a Toronto-area high school student is facing charges after allegedly threatening to bring a gun to school and cause harm.

York Regional Police say officers attended an unnamed high school after the alleged threat was made last Wednesday.

The force says police carried out a search warrant at the suspect’s residence and seized a number of firearms.

The youth has been charged with uttering threats and possession of a restricted firearm without a licence.

Police say officers conducted a violent threat risk assessment after the suspect was removed from the school and no longer posed a threat.

Police are asking anyone with information that might help the investigation to come forward.
