ON Monday just before 2 p.m., Delta Police received a report of a possible planned fight in the area of Seaquam Secondary School. Five youth males were observed wearing ski masks on school property. They fled when observed by school staff.

Shortly afterwards, a Delta Police member observed a group of youth in the area. One of the males was seen discarding a weapon before fleeing from police.

Due to the possibility of a weapon, Seaquam Secondary School and Cougar Canyon Elementary were placed into a hold and secure until police could determine the nature of the incident. The schools were later released from the hold and secure, and a coordinated release of the students took place.

A K-9 search of the area located an airsoft pistol in the bushes.

Police remain in the area looking for the youth.
