Two Toronto schools were evacuated on Tuesday morning after receiving bomb threats by phone, according to police. Bruce Jr. Public School in Leslieville and St. Augustine Seminary in Scarborough's Cliffside neighborhood were affected.
Toronto Police issued a social media update around 9:20 a.m. stating that multiple schools across the city had received bomb threats via telephone. Authorities believe the threats originated from the same individual and are actively investigating the matter.
In a statement on the X platform, police noted: "At this time, there is no evidence to suggest these threats are credible." Despite this, both schools were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
Police have not provided further details regarding the threats or whether any other educational institutions were impacted. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
The evacuations come amid heightened security concerns in the region, but officials urge the public to remain calm while the investigation proceeds.
