14-year-old arrested for making bomb threats at Lauderdale Lakes schools

LAUDERDALE LAKES, Fla. – Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a 14-year-old girl for falsely reporting bomb threats that caused evacuations at two Lauderdale Lakes schools Thursday.

Deputies said the first threat was called into Lauderdale Lakes Middle School at 9 a.m., with the second threat called into Oriole Elementary School at 9:19 a.m. Both schools were evacuated as a precaution and the threats were determined to be unfounded.

Detectives were able to identify the caller as a student at Boyd H. Anderson Senior High School. The teen later confessed to making the phone threats.
