In Tuzla, all cases of false bomb threats in secondary schools have been cleared up

(Patria) - Police officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tuzla Canton have, in the past few days, responded to several reports of explosive devices planted in Tuzla secondary schools, which ultimately turned out to be false.

Significant personnel and material-technical resources were engaged in this process. The Police Directorate announced today that all these cases have been successfully cleared up in the previous period, and the perpetrators have been adequately sanctioned.

"Since it has been established in previous cases that the perpetrators were minors, we appeal to parents to become more involved in solving this problem, especially because it is a criminal offense for which minors or their parents are criminally liable, depending on the case.

Such events require immediate intervention, which first involves the evacuation of students and staff at a given location, and then the engagement of a large number of personnel and equipment from both the Police Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tuzla Canton and the emergency services involved in such cases, which causes significant costs. In addition to the above, difficulties arise in the conduct of the teaching process.

Police officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tuzla Canton are intensively working on clearing up and documenting all received false reports in secondary schools in the Tuzla area, and all available measures and actions are being taken to collect digital traces and evidence, with the aim of identifying and prosecuting the perpetrators of these criminal offenses, about which the public will be informed in a timely manner," the statement added.
