Derry schools receive ‘concerning email’ containing threat
Several schools in Derry have received a ‘concerning email’ containing a threat and precautionary measures have been taken in conjunction with the PSNI and the Education Authority.
Police confirmed they have reived reports of ‘a concerning email sent to a number of schools’ the North.
“As a result of this email, police are conducting urgent enquiries, and liaising with the schools in question. An update will be provided in due course,” the PSNI said on Wednesday.
Parents and guardians have been contacted by the schools affected in Derry.
SDLP MLA Mark H. Durkan said: “I've been made aware that some schools have received an email threat earlier this morning.
“The PSNI have advised this is not a credible threat.
“Our school staff, children and parents have enough to be getting on with without additional stressors like these to deal with. Keep an eye out on school messaging apps for any updates.”
