School children have been evacuated from a Glasgow primary school following reports of bomb threat.
Police converged on St Mary's Primary School in the Maryhill area of Glasgow at around 2pm on Monday afternoon after a threat was reportedly made via telephone.
Parents are said to have been contacted by the school to pick their kids up.
Kids have reportedly been shuttled out of the Roman Catholic denominational primary and into the Immaculate Conception Chapel with which the school is linked.
One parent said on social media: "Just picked my niece up - apparently a bomb scare. Kids are all safe and well."
She added: "The teachers told kids it was just a drill for the real thing so all the kids were fine and not too worried."
A local told the Record: "Kids at St Mary's Primary in Maryhill have just been told to get out and police are everywhere."
Police Scotland has since confirmed it is investigating the "malicious" communication, which officers are treating as a hoax.
It is understood that cops investigating the site have found no evidence of a device.
A spokesperson said: "We are investigating malicious communications received by a primary school on Kilmun Street in Glasgow at around 1.50pm on Monday January 31 2022.
"Officers are in attendance and the school has been evacuated as a precaution while inquiries are being carried out."
A Glasgow City Council spokesperson said: “Everyone at the school is safe and the school evacuated to the local church as a precaution.
“Families have been contacted to collect their child and the school will be open as normal in the morning.”
Monday's incident comes just days after several streets in Glasgow were locked down for hours after a suspicious package was discovered at the offices of a security company.
Police converged on G4S on Milnbank Street in Thursday afternoon and closed a stretch of Alexandra Parade in Dennistoun for several hours while a Royal Navy bomb squad assessed the threat.
Defusal experts were stood down after it was concluded that the package was " not a viable threat ".
