Police responded to two Hamilton high schools Tuesday after both facilities were targets of bomb threats.

Just after 9:30 a.m., officers said they had cleared the school and that staff and students could return.

“Community members will see a large police presence in the area,” it tweeted.

At 10:55 a.m., the service said the scene at Westmont Secondary had been cleared.
