Fife high school evacuated after hoax bomb threat

Glenrothes High School was one of a number of schools across Scotland to receive a bomb hoax today.

The secondary school was evacuated earlier after a call was received saying explosives had been planted.

Police say there's nothing to suggest any of the threats made were credible.

ACC Steve Johnson said: “A number of secondary schools across Scotland have today received a threat via telephone.

"Officers from Police Scotland attended each school and nothing of concern has been found. Police inquiries are at an early stage and will continue.

“There has been excellent engagement between police and schools over the years in regard to when calls of this nature are received, and the response and assistance provided by each of these schools has been excellent in ensuring an appropriate response and quick reporting.

"Although there is no information to substantiate any of these threats at this time, we are treating this with the utmost seriousness and a thorough investigation is underway."
