Bomb threat hoax campaign in Vermont

1 min read

MONTPELIER — The Vermont State Police continues to monitor ongoing bomb threats to various critical infrastructure and key resource sectors in the State of Vermont.

The threats are received via email and are similar to threats sent on Sunday.

These emails are sent from a gmail.com address and refer to bombs being placed in the targeted location and various wordings similar to “Many people will die” but also uses “souls” and “lives.”

Affected groups are encouraged to report these incidents to local law enforcement in their area.

No suspicious items or authentic threats have been discovered at any of the locations.

These nationwide hoax campaigns are frequently reported throughout the US and cause disruption to day-to-day activities in schools, houses of worship, and businesses.

The Vermont State Police encourage Vermonters to alert law enforcement if they see a package, backpack, or any other item left unattended.
