Fake bomb threat prompts lockdown at Wayne High School

Police conducted multiple sweeps of Wayne High School, which was placed on lockdown Tuesday after a fake bomb threat and armed robbery report.

The Huber Heights Police Division received a call about an armed robbery at the high school, which the caller said happened about three hours earlier. When the school resource officer contacted the caller, he said he had a bomb, was inside the school with the bomb and he made threats to harm those inside the school, according to police.

“The caller provided his name and a location for where he was in the school to the SRO, but it was quickly determined that the name provided was not a name of any student at the school. Furthermore, the location he gave was not consistent with the layout of the school,” police stated.
