Blue Hills bomb scare, robbery suspect identified
By Mike BergerCanton Police Chief Ken Berkowitz said police will be issuing charges to a 17-year-old Milton student who allegedly wrote a threatening bomb scare note and left it in a wastebasket at Blue Hills Regional Vocational Technical School. The note led school and law enforcement officials to evacuate all students and staff on Monday morning, April 30, at 8:45 a.m. Students were released for the day as bomb-sniffing dogs searched the school.
Berkowitz said the note was found in the wastebasket and reported to authorities. He described the incident as a “careless prank” by a student attending the school.
