The Winnipeg Police Service is providing more details about three threats made toward two schools Monday and Tuesday.
The first two threats came in by email around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday saying harm would come to both Oak Park High School and Elmwood High School the next day, with police saying both were bomb threats.
Investigators met with both the Pembina Trails School Division and the Winnipeg School Division, and it was determined both schools would stay close as police investigated.
Police did not find any physical threats and investigators learned the emails were a "malicious hoax to incite public panic."
Police are still investigating the incidents and no arrests have been made.
On Monday at around 9:30 p.m., police were notified of a post on social media making threats to Elmwood High School for the next day.
Oak Park High School would reopen Tuesday, but Elmwood stayed closed, police said.
