BLOOMFIELD — Two schools inside the Teleport business park were evacuated on Wednesday after a bomb threat, a spokesman for the Port Authority Police Department said.

The manager of the Teleport received a call at about 11:10 a.m. about a bomb threat to "the school," though didn't clarify which of the two schools housed in the building was targeted, the PAPD said.

The John W. Lavelle Preparatory School and the St. Paul's School of Nursing were evacuated while Port Authority emergency services and K-9 unit searched them, the PAPD said.

Nothing was found and the buildings were reoccupied by 1:15 p.m., the PAPD said. No arrests had been made as of Wednesday afternoon.
