East Yorkshire schools shut due to malicious email
A reported "non-credible" bomb threat sent to schools in East Yorkshire has resulted in the closure of a number of schools.
As reported by Hul Daily Mail, Aldbrough Primary School, between Withernsea and Hornsea, posted on their Facebook that the school had been forced to shut following a malicious email.

“Community officers have already been sent to schools to provide that reassurance.”
