Police in Toronto have launched an investigation after a bomb threat was made to the Tanenbaum Community Hebrew Academy this morning, CTV News reports.

The threat does not appear to be substantiated but the school has been evacuated as a precaution, police say.

The head of the Jewish high school informed parents in an email that the threat involved a claim that “explosive devices had been planted” at the site.

This comes hours after another bomb threat was made targeting a Islamic community center in Vaughan, Ontario, CTV News says.
