Bomb threat to school: Gymnasiesse donated colleagues

In the past few weeks and months, bomb threats against schools have increased in Switzerland. A dangerous trend on social media is jointly responsible. The Vaud police have now identified two responsible persons.

Several explosives would be in the school building: This threat landed on the smartphone of a teacher of the Chamblandes teacher in Pully on the smartphone on the smartphone on the last Wednesday. The emergency services from the Lausanne police immediately appeared on site and had the building evacuated on Lake Geneva. The students who gradually arrived had to stay outside. With the help of a sniffer dog, explosive experts searched the building. A total of around 20 people took part in the major operation. The bus that drives past the school had to take a detour at times. The spook was over in the early afternoon: no explosives were found.

Meanwhile, the police discovered the originators of the threat. It is an 18-year-old Spaniard from Lausanne. He dropped the bomb alarm on behalf of a 17-year-old friend who visits the high school. The two admitted their crime with the police interrogations. The 18-year-old threatens up to three years of imprisonment and a bus. The high school student is assessed under juvenile justice and has to expect a prison sentence of up to one year. The school opened an exclusion process against them. The motive of the threat is not known.

In the past few weeks and months, threats have been received by schools in Switzerland. A trend is worried: Young people boast on social media like Tiktok with amok threats and hope for likes. Last November, for example, there were three amok threats in the canton of Aargau within a week – in Suhr, Bremgarten and Lenzburg. In the case of Lenzburg, an 11-year-old student admitted that a video on Tiktok encouraged him to do so. A big problem: the drury are often not even aware that they only supposedly afford a harmless joke.

The author of the announced amocates are not always caught. At the beginning of February, the Graubünden cantonal police moved to a large -scale deployment at the business school in Chur. Around 350 vocational students, 20 children of the primary school as well as 10 teachers and employees were evacuated from two school houses after a bomb threat had been received in one afternoon by email. The police were able to give the all -clear at 8:45 p.m. The investigation is still running.

Even the perpetrators who threatened two weeks ago are not yet identified to have a bomb in the Rosensalschulhaus in Basel exploded. Even before Christmas, a series of threats kept the Basel-Stadt cantonal police in suspense. In mid -December she announced that there have been five threats in the past few weeks. In all cases, the police assumed that they were related to a challenge on social media. In one case, the police managed to investigate a suspect. He claimed that he just wanted to make a joke.

Amo threats are not funny. In its media release, the Basel cantonal police point out that amokates have caused a lot of suffering and fear worldwide. In addition, the threats cause high costs and have criminal consequences.
