A bomb threat was located Tuesday inside a bathroom at Pennsbury High School.

Falls Township police confirmed to LevittownNow.com that the threat was found in the bathroom. A school district source said the threat mentioned April 13 but it appeared to be “nonsense,” a comment that was echoed by a police official.

Students were cleared from one of the campus’ buildings Wednesday, but it is unclear whether the move was related to the threat.
