Bomb Threat Reported At South Jersey High School: Police

WEST DEPTFORD, NJ — Police responded to the second bomb threat in two weeks at West Deptford High School on Thursday and ruled it uncredible.

The West Deptford Police Department said its officers responded at around 8:30 a.m., and proper safety protocols were put in place. The threat was quickly determined to be false.

Both West Deptford High School and Deptford High School were placed into lockdown on March 19 before threats were ruled uncredible.

Over the last week, at least three other school systems were also targeted.

Burlington City High School, Willingboro High School, and the Tabernacle Township School District have all had school days altered by similar threats.

Federal officials are working with local law enforcement to look into the recent cases throughout the region.
