5 knives found in Ontario high school; student charged [Video]

A Guelph high school student has been charged after five knives were found in the possession of a teen on school grounds on Friday.

Guelph Police said two students at the school were play fighting in the hallway during the lunch hour when a folding knife fell out of one of their pockets and onto the floor.

“The knife was seized by the vice-principal and turned over to the school’s High School Resource Officer,” police said in a news release on Monday.

Resource officers are police officers who are assigned to schools.

During the arrest of a teen, a search by the officer turned up a second knife that was attached to a keychain, police said.

A subsequent search of a student’s locker led to three more folding knives, according to investigators.

Police didn’t reveal the name of the high school.
