Response to threat e-mails

Further to the threatening emails circulated to primary schools earlier today, the police have advised that they do not believe the emails are a credible threat. Investigations are currently ongoing and schools are advised to continue with their normal business. Therefore, X Factor and after school activities will go ahead.

Anyone with any information that could assist police should contact Durham Constabulary on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
