Apr 14, 2015 | 11:28 AM

RCMP found nothing suspicious after combing through five Kindersley schools evacuated after a Tuesday morning bomb threat.

Police said they received a bomb threat around 9:35 a.m. at a Kindersley school, but no school was specifically identified.

As a precaution more than 1,000 students were evacuated from Kindersley Composite School, Elizabeth Elementary School, Westberry Elementary School and indEP School. Students from Great Plains College have also been evacuated.

Students were moved to a safe location and parents are being called to pick them up, according to Kindersley RCMP.

MIX 104.9 reporter Trevor Redden attended the safe zone where the evacuated students were waiting to be picked up by parents.

He said the area was bustling with a steady stream of parents coming through picking up their children and teachers making sure everyone was accounted for.

“At the location where the students are, there was a couple of police present but the teachers were very orderly getting everyone signed out. It was frantic but it wasn’t a panic situation,” Redden told News Talk Radio.

Redden said he saw one RCMP patrol car parked out front two of the five schools, but not a lot of activity.

While police found nothing suspicious at the five schools, they are still investigating the source of the threat.
