## Summary

Threatening emails prompted some schools in Scotland and Northern Ireland to evacuate pupils or send them home, disrupting lessons and alarming families. Police say the messages were hoaxes and there is no evidence of a credible threat or wider danger.

More than 270 schools in Scotland reportedly received an email referring to a device, sent to distribution lists across the UK. Police Scotland said schools did not need to evacuate based solely on the emails and is investigating their source with UK and international partners; a similar wave of hoax threats affected Scottish schools last month.
