Yesterday, at approximately 1 p.m., Digby RCMP responded to report of youths waving a firearm near Digby Regional High School located on King St. RCMP officers quickly located and safely arrested a youth and an 18-year-old Marshalltown woman near the school. At the time of the arrests, RCMP officers located and seized a replica firearm.

A short time later, after further information and evidence was collected, RCMP officers safely arrested a second youth inside the school.
