Teenagers questioned about hoax bomb threats at schools

TWO teenage boys have been questioned about hoax bomb threats at Culcheth High School, Warrington and a number of other schools.
The youngsters, aged 14 and 15 have also been questioned in relation to hoax bomb threats at Golborne High School, Bedford High School and two schools at Barnstaple, in North Devon.
The two boys, who are both from the Greater Manchester area, have since been released pending further enquires.
Their questioning forms part of a joint ongoing investigation by detectives from Cheshire Constabulary, Greater Manchester Police and Devon & Cornwall Police.
Detective Sergeant Alison McLoughlin from Cheshire Police said: “I know that these incidents caused considerable concern to both the pupils and parents at the schools involved and I hope that this development will provide some reassurance.
“Enquiries are continuing and I would like to thank the schools involved for their support along with our colleagues at Greater Manchester and Devon and Cornwall Police.”
