YORK, Pa. - A half-dozen surveillance cameras are being installed this week outside bathrooms in the local high school in response to a spate of bomb threats.

For the fifth time this school year, Dover Area School District students were evacuated Monday while police and fire crews searched the high school and found nothing.

Superintendent Richard Nilsen said Tuesday that six surveillance cameras are being installed this week in hallways outside school bathrooms where the threats were written. Another 10 cameras will be installed in other parts of the school, Nilsen said.

After the discovery of Monday's threat, students were moved to the district's intermediate school - where bomb threats this year also caused evacuation - until rooms were cleared.

If caught, a student making a threat will be expelled and charged with a crime, said Northern York County Regional Police Chief Carl Segatti.
