A school in Toronto’s east end was evacuated Tuesday after reports of a bomb threat, but after an investigation police say they found no evidence of a bomb and concluded that the threat was “unfounded.”
Police were called to Riverdale Collegiate Institute in the Jones Avenue and Gerrard Street East area at around 12 p.m.
Police said no injuries were reported and the school was evacuated “out of an abundance of caution.”
In an update later Tuesday afternoon, police said students have been sent home for the day.
Members of the bomb squad swept the school, but nothing was found.
