CONCORD - The New Hampshire Department of Safety is investigating reports of multiple bomb threats that appear to be targeting various colleges and universities across the state.
A preliminary investigation has revealed that today the same phone number was used to make bomb threats to some 10 higher education facilities in the state. The caller, who may be from overseas, appears to be using a spoofed number, according to DOS officials.
At this time, they have no information to indicate any of the threats are credible. The department is working closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement partners; and coordinating with the targeted institutions to share information.
A law enforcement investigation is under way.
Anyone who receives a bomb threat should contact law enforcement immediately.
