A member of staff at Larne and Inver Primary School discovered two threatening letters addressed to the school on Monday.

“I totally condemn the bomb scare at Larne High school and Larne and Inver Primary School,” said Mid and East Antrim Borough Councillor, Paul Reid.

“This only serves to upset pupils and staff at the school.

“Especially for pupils working towads exams.

“Sadly there are those who want to cause upset by attacking places of worship, war memorials, morals and now schools.

“Such attacks have no place in our society and must stop,” added Colr. Reid.

“Our school received two anonymous, threatening letters this morning and as a precaution the PSNI were called to address the matter
