Stratford Police Investigate Bomb Threat At Northwestern Secondary

Stratford police say a bomb threat made through social media prompted an evacuation of Stratford Northwestern Secondary School, St. Michael Catholic Secondary, and the YMCA Child care centre about 4pm yesterday.

Inspector Sam Theocharis says they investigated the threat and it was unfounded.

There weren't too many people in the buildings as school was over.

Police warn whoever is responsible that they continue to investigate, and will lay charges if they find a suspect.
