Nine Northern Ireland schools targeted with threatening email thought to be hoax

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said it was liaising with the Metropolitan Police in London after an email had been sent to schools in Co Fermanagh, Co Tyrone and Co Antrim.

Nine schools across Northern Ireland were targeted by a threatening email which is thought to be a hoax, police have said.

Several of the schools across counties Antrim, Fermanagh and Tyrone closed due to a “security concern” on Monday morning.
