FREMONT — Police said they had not found evidence of explosive devices at local schools Friday following a bomb threat sent over email, according to a press release from the department.
The email described the existence of explosive devices at schools in the Fremont Unified School District and other schools in the Bay Area, authorities said. Investigators from the Fremont Police Department worked with federal law enforcement and have found “no evidence” of explosives at schools, authorities added.

Fremont Union School District officials were not planning to close any schools Friday, police said.
Authorities added that the email threat was similar to previous emails. It may have been sent to other districts in the region.
School resource officers at several school locations were conducting walk-throughs, and an explosive ordinance detection canine was doing random school sweeps out of an abundance of caution, officers said. There will also be extra patrol checks through the day, and both school resource officers and patrol officers are in “constant communication” with the district, they added.
