Bomb hoax closes North Yorkshire school

A BOMB hoax forced a North Yorkshire primary school to close today.
Rossett Acre Primary School in Harrogate was evacuated just before lunch following an email threat that police have said was a "malicious hoax".
North Yorkshire Police and the Metropolitan Police Service - which is investigating similar threats made to other schools across the UK - said there was no risk to pupils or staff.
The Harrogate threat led to pupils being evacuated to the school's playing fields, where they were collected by their parents.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire County Council said the message claimed there was "an explosive device on the premises".
He said yesterday: "Investigations have established the message was a malicious hoax and the school will reopen as usual tomorrow morning."
The Met said it was investigating a "suspected linked series of malicious communications" sent to a number of UK schools, but could not discuss their content.
North Yorkshire Police said it had "fully assessed" the situation at Rossett Acre and urged anybody who receives similar messages to contact police immediately.
