Trinidad and Tobago authorities are searching for those responsible for sending bomb threats through emails to schools across the island.
The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service and the National Security Minister, Fitzgerald Hinds, warned those responsible that they will be found and dealt with according to law. Police said they had received 10 reports of bomb threats of schools on both islands.
In the messages sent to the schools, they were informed that “explosives are planted …on the buildings” and that they intend to “kill everyone. No one will be left alive. Trinidad will bleed, soon very soon a sea of blood will be spilled.”
Several schools were evacuated on Friday as the threats were received at around 8am. Hinds said: “The bomb threats are not being taken lightly and therefore the police, the fire service and the other elements (of security) are already engaged in treating with the situation.”
The TTPS said it is “actively investigating all such reports, as these incidents are treated as high priority. Additionally, the matter is currently engaging the attention of the Cyber Crime Unit, the Special Branch, our bomb technicians and all Divisional Commanders where affected schools are located.”
