Three Passaic Schools Cleared After Bomb Threats

Students in three Passaic schools are back in their classrooms after they were evacuated because of bomb threats.

Detective Andy White tells The Record newspaper School 10 was evacuated after a threat was received at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday and School 10 was evacuated an hour later. White says a third bomb threat forced students from the Hope Academy high school.

Bomb-sniffing dogs failed to find any explosives and by 11 a.m., all three schools reopened.

Police in New Jersey have been responding to a wave of bomb threats and reports of suspicious packages in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings.
