Police presence increased after bomb threats at 2 Riverside schools

A bomb threat at two Riverside schools resulted in an increase in security Friday.

Riverside police searched Mad River Middle School and Spinning Hills Middle School Thursday evening after a threat was posted to Snapchat, a social media app. Bomb dogs from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base assisted in the searches.

“Nothing was located during these sweeps,” said Riverside police Maj. Matthew Sturgeon.

Mad River Local Schools decided to increase police presence at the schools Friday as an extra precaution.

“The police are continuing their investigation, and we remain committed to ensuring the safety and security of all students and staff,” read a statement from the district.
