BUFFALO, N.Y. - Three arrests have been made in connection with Tuesday's bomb threat at Williamsville North High School.
Amherst Police announced that three students aged 14,15 and 16 were arrested following an investigation into the threat.
This is the second bomb threat to happen at a local high school this week.
The first was at Lockport High School last week after a digital threat was made on the schools tipline. Police arrested and charged a juvenile with falsely reporting an incident.
Though some teens may believe it is a joke, Attorney Paul Cambria says it's a serious offense.
"If on the other hand they say a bomb is going to go off at a school at a certain time you can take that as a terroristic threat" said Cambria "which is a seven year felony - very serious."
All of the suspects in these threats are teenagers, which makes the cases different as they go through the court process.
"If they're 16 and over they're adults they might qualify for youthful offender status. If they're under 16 it could be handled by family court as Juvenile delinquents," said Cambria.
With everything going on nationally involving threats to schools, Cambria says that it is not likely a Judge will take the incidents lightly.
"My guess is that any Judge would take this extremely serious," said Cambria, "because of all the problems we've had in the past with schools and the great disruption it is to evacuate a school."
