NORTH BERWICK, Maine - A second Berwick teenager was arrested late Friday in connection with last week's bomb threat at Noble High School.

North Berwick Police Chief Stephen Peasley said today this latest arrest closes the books on the bomb scare case that closed the high school last Wednesday after a post on social media announced the pair's intentions to set a bomb off.

The first suspect, a 17-year-old, was arrested earlier on Friday.

Peasley said it was still not clear if either suspect was the administrator of the page on which the Tweet was seen. The exact age of the second suspect was not immediately available.

Both teens are charged with Class C felony terrorizing, which can draw up to five years of incarceration.

Peasley commended North Berwick Police for their efforts in the case, especially those of Lt. James Moulton, as well as Berwick Police.
