POLICE are investigating after a series of false bomb threats.
The hoaxes were sent to the Basingstoke Gazette website and threatened to target a number of sites across Basingstoke and Winchester.
The most recent of the four threats was submitted on Wednesday evening.
Hampshire Police were informed immediately on all occasions.
A statement from a Constabulary spokesperson said: “We can confirm we are investigating a series of malicious communications after a number of false bomb threats were reported to police.
“Our enquiries are ongoing and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”
