ANOTHER Pakenham primary school has fallen victim to a string of bomb threats affecting schools nationwide in recent weeks.
Just before noon on Thursday 11 February, Pakenham Springs Primary School, on Livingstone Boulevard, was evacuated due a bomb threat call.
Police confirmed the 11.55am automated call was received by a staff member who alerted police immediately.
The school was evacuated onto the nearby reserve as six police units scoured the school grounds.
It comes a week after St Patrick’s Primary School in Pakenham and Kooweerup Primary School were evacuated after a threatening call was made around noon on Tuesday 2 February.
Police are yet to lay charges against those responsible for the calls received by various Melbourne schools.
However, Nossal High School in Berwick has been linked to a hoax bomb threat made against Berwick Lodge Primary School on Friday 29 January. Hackers are believed responsible for that incident.
Police are continuing to investigate.
