Bomb threats were phoned into two Brooklyn Yeshivahs just minutes apart, according to the NYPD.
The first threatening call came into Yeshivah of Flatbush Joel Braverman High School at approximately 9:54 a.m. Friday. Six minutes later, United Talmudical Academy (UTA) of Williamsburg received a similar call.
Emergency Service Units and K9s responded to the two schools, which were both evacuated.
Police say they deemed both threats unfounded. Students and staff have since returned to their classrooms.
