A primary school in the United Kingdom had to shut down today due to receiving “threatening messages,” authorities have confirmed. Law enforcement quickly responded to the school and secured the surrounding areas.
The Llwynhendy, Llangennech, Dafen, and Felinfoel Police released a statement stating that Dafen CP School in Llanelli would remain closed for the day due to concerning online messages received around 2:30 am, prompting immediate safeguarding measures by the Dyfed-Powys Police.
Collaborating with Carmarthenshire County Council, a joint decision was made to close the school as a precaution. Police presence has been established at the school and nearby locations, with ongoing investigations being conducted.
Scheduled for Monday evening, parents and guardians were anticipated to attend an open day event at the school. An invitation shared on Facebook encouraged attendees to “meet the teachers and explore our recent activities.” Simultaneously, an online safety training session was planned to take place in the school hall.
Addressing the apprehensions of parents and school staff, the police emphasized that necessary safeguarding procedures were implemented based on the information provided by Dyfed-Powys Police. They confirmed that no other schools in the vicinity required closure.
Regular updates will be disseminated to ensure that all concerned parties are well-informed about the situation, according to the police. Additional details have been requested from Dyfed-Powys Police and the council.
