Police stand guard as parents arrive to collect children at Loblaws on Moore Ave.
Dog employed to sniff out possible explosives at Bennington Public School
A suitcase left at Bennington Heights Elementary School Wednesday morning carried a note saying it contained a bomb. The piece of black luggage was blown up as was another suspicious package. Neither contained a bomb. It is someone’s idea of a joke, police guessed. Pupils were taken to the gym at Rolph Road School for pickup by parents. Children attending Bennington Heights Day Care at the school were taken to Loblaws at 321 Moore Ave. for pickup by parents. Police performed a controlled blast of a suitcase that did not contain explosives. A trained dog was used to see if items anywhere on the property needed investigation. TDSB spokesperson Ryan Bird said that the students were escorted to Rolph Rd. on foot without incident.
