Police in Scotland are investigating hoax threats made to a number of schools, following a series of evacuations on Monday morning. The development comes after Stormont's education minister confirmed that more than 150 schools in Northern Ireland had received bomb threats, which are not being treated as viable.
Evacuations and Investigations
Several schools were forced to evacuate their premises on Monday as a precautionary measure. Police have since issued an update, confirming that the threats are being treated as hoaxes and that investigations are ongoing.
The threats have caused significant disruption for families and staff across the affected regions. Authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant while inquiries continue.
Scale of the Threat
Stormont's education minister stated that more than 150 schools in Northern Ireland had received bomb threats. These threats are not being considered viable, but have nonetheless prompted widespread caution and school closures.
The situation remains under review, with police in both Scotland and Northern Ireland working to identify the source of the hoax calls. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
