Two people have been charged over a bomb threat made to the Calamvale Community College. (Calamvale Community College) Link copiedShareShare articleQueensland police have arrested three people and are searching for one more after a bomb threat was made at a Brisbane school this week. Two people, a 22-year-old man and a 17-year-old woman, have been charged with using a carriage service for a hoax threat and wilful disturbance after a bomb scare at the Calamvale Community College on Brisbane's south side on Wednesday. Police Superintendent Mark Reid said it appeared to be a copycat incident after threats were made at numerous schools in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland this week. "They face up to five years' imprisonment for the panic and disruption that they cause in the community and the drain that it places on the police resources," Superintendent Reid said. The pair will appear in the Richlands Magistrates Court on Monday. Police said he could face similar charges.
