BURBANK (CNS) - Burbank police Tuesday said officers were investigating a "perceived school threat" posted on social media, but have found "no evidence to suggest the threat is credible."
"The Burbank Police Department is aware of a social media post that has been circulating in our community about a perceived school threat," police said in a statement Tuesday.
"This same message has also been circulating in neighboring school districts and is not directed at a specific school. The Department has been in communication with the Burbank Unified School District and will continue to monitor this situation throughout the day.
"At this time, there is no evidence to suggest the threat is credible," the statement continued.
Officers have been working with school officials to address the topic, police added.
"The Burbank Police Department would also like to remind our community that any threat directed towards a student(s), faculty member(s), or school, is a crime," police said.
Anyone with information about such crimes was urged to notify authorities.
