ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Several anonymous tips on school threats sent through the Safe2Say program over the past two weeks have been found false, according to a news release issued by the Allentown Police Department.

Police said the threats were made by juveniles who have been charged with terroristic threats and false alarms to agencies of public safety.

"Every tip received is thoroughly investigated, and students should use this system to report credible or suspected threats," said Kyle Pammer, captain of Administration for the Allentown Police Department, in the written statement.

Any information concerning these cases can be shared via the Community Outreach Unit at 610-437-7741.
