A teenager has been arrested over hoax bomb threats sent to thousands of schools.

The 18-year-old is the third teenager to be arrested over a recent spate of malicious communications sent to schools in the UK and US.

He was arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill, blackmail and malicious communications.

National Crime Agency officers arrested the suspect at the home he shares with his family in Andover, Hampshire.

NCA senior investigating officer Marc Horsfall said: “The series of bomb threats caused huge worry and inconvenience to thousands of innocent people.

“Anyone thinking that law enforcement doesn’t take such offences very seriously should really think again."
