Message regarding malicious communications received by Liverpool schools
We can confirm that enquiries are ongoing following reports of malicious communications sent to several Merseyside schools. A number of schools have received similar emails, and investigations continue. At this stage, these messages are believed to be hoaxes, and we will be working to identify those responsible and take appropriate action.
Chief Inspector Phil Thompson said:
“We understand that parents and carers will be concerned and as a result we are liaising with all schools and providing advice and reassurance as enquiries continue.
Based on the information we have received and assessed, there has been no requirement for any schools to close.”
If you have any information, please call 101 or send a direct message to @MerpolCC on social media. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
