Schools on lockdown with students told to ‘switch off phones’ as cops scrambled to ‘bomb threat’

SCHOOLS were put in lockdown after cops scrambled to a “bomb threat” – with students told to “switch off phones”.

An urgent manhunt was launched at 11.35am after reports that a man had made the threat against a school in Farnborough, Hampshire.

Local schools went into lockdown before cops arrested a 40-year-old man on suspicion of making threats to kill.

No bombs were found, nobody was injured and the schools have now been given the all clear.
