MERIDAN, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - Meriden Police arrest two juveniles in connection with two separate instances of possible school threats.

Both threats, which appeared on Facebook and Snap Chat, were reported to Meriden Police on Thursday.

One of these investigations would lead to the arrest of two Meriden juveniles.

The second investigation is leading police to another Meriden juvenile. That case is still being investigated.

Both investigations stem from juveniles re-posting one of numerous social media posts that have been circulating on numerous social media platforms all over the state of Connecticut.

The Meriden Police Department says it takes all threats of school violence seriously.
