Police were called to Newman Catholic College in Harlesden Road, Harlesden. Students and staff were evacuated and the surrounding area was cordoned off for public safety while an explosive dog unit was called to search the area. However, nothing was found and the area was reopened at 10:20am. Police have investigated an allegation of malicious communication.[4]
