Takaka man in court following incident at school

1 min read

Please attribute to Acting Sergeant Jonathan Davies:

A 56-year-old man is due to appear in Nelson District Court today on a variety of charges following an incident at Takaka School.

A threatening phone call yesterday morning prompted the school to go into temporary lockdown — a standard response to any perceived threat.

The man was arrested a short time later at the Takaka Police Station.

At no time were any children at risk.
