Student made threat

An Aotea College student has been suspended after having been found to be the source of a digital threat last week that prompted a lockdown and disrupted exams. The Porirua high school initially went into lockdown, then was evacuated with police oversight after the alarm was raised mid-morning last Wednesday after a student received a digital threat via AirDrop, a data sharing service for iPhone users. The school said the investigation included forensic investigation of digital devices. The student now faces a process led by the police and a formal suspension process.
