This Thursday, classes were disrupted in several schools in La Louvière. The approximately 2,000 children at Sainte-Marie school were evacuated Thursday morning following a bomb threat. The investigations carried out with, in particular, the specialized dogs of the federal police, turned out to be negative. Other schools have, according to the mayor of La Louvière, closed their establishment as a precaution.
This Friday, the spokesperson for the Mons public prosecutor’s office specifies that the author of the false bomb threat has been identified. The suspect is a minor, a teenager. The magistrate of the youth section who manages the case will refer the case to a youth judge. According to the spokesperson, the most serious consequence for the suspect, if he is found guilty, would be placement in a public youth protection institution (IPPJ). “But nothing indicates that this will be it“, she adds.
“I hope that the author of the alert will be identified and severely punished. Because playing like that, when we see the damage caused to children, it’s scandalous“, declared this Thursday the mayor of La Louvière, Jacques Gobert.
