A POLICE investigation is being carried out at King William’s College in Castletown.
The college has released a statement to say that on Wednesday a digital camera was discovered in a pupil toilet area in college.
The device was not capable of any onward transmission.
The school’s authorities told the police and the incident is now being investigated by the force.
An 18-year-old male pupil of the college was arrested on Thursday, and subsequently released on bail pending further enquiries.
The school has notified all parents of the incident.
Sergeant Paul Kemp said: ‘I can confirm that there is no allegation or suggestion of physical harm to any person. The school is about to enter a period of examinations and the police are working closely with the staff to investigate the matter quickly and thoroughly to minimise any disruption whilst offering reassurance to the pupils.’
A spokesman for the college said: ‘This is a very serious matter. The college has conducted its own investigation and the pupil involved has been excluded from the school.
‘Our priority now is to reassure the children and their guardians that all the proper steps have been taken.
‘Pending the completion of the police investigation it would not be appropriate for me to comment further.’
