00:00Police arrested the 18 year old man on Wednesday and he appeared in court yesterday charged with blackmail among other offences. He was remanded in custody to appear later this year. He's accused of making threats against the Glenunga International High School as well as members of the Jewish community.
00:21Now police also allege that he made threats to build bombs that could kill or injure visitors that come to South Australia for events like the Fringe Festival or the AFL Gather Round and other public spaces. South Australia police say they worked with ASIO, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, as part of their investigation. Premier Peter Malinowska says it's the most complex case that he's ever been briefed on.
00:47Over 100 people within SAPOL were dedicated to this effort seeking to ensure that the people of our state remain safe. I can't imagine how all consuming it is when you are working on an investigation of this size and complexity.
01:06The Glenunga International High School has released a statement thanking police for their efforts in keeping the school safe. It's also thanked the school community as well as students. The school is currently open but there is a police presence here.
