A bomb threat made to Harbour View high school in the north end of Saint John has been deemed unfounded after a search of the building according to city police.
The call came in mid-morning and the school was put on lockdown, however that lockdown has been lifted.

A follow-up investigation will be conducted. The director of schools for Saint John Centre in Anglophone South Debbie Thomas says they will keep parents posted as more information is received.
This follows an investigation of a threat at Harbour Station made on Tuesday afternoon. Sgt. Magee says a staff member received a call from a man who made a vague threat implying there was a bomb in the building. Both staff and officers searched the building and the call was deemed unfounded.
