Police have arrested a woman concerning a recent threat that targeted the University of Otago graduation ceremonies.
A 22-year-old woman was charged with threatening harm to people that were going to be attending the ceremony, including threats to the property.
On December 9, the University of Otago had to cancel their graduation ceremonies after originally postponing them due to a security threat that was sent to the university earlier in the week.
