A teenager arrested on suspicion of making a bomb hoax that led to a school being evacuated has been bailed.

Myton School in Warwick was cleared on Monday after staff were sent a threatening email, police said.

It was only fully reopened to pupils on Wednesday.

A teenage male, from Leamington Spa, was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday and has been released pending further inquiries, Warwickshire Police said.

Speaking earlier in the week, head teacher Andy Perry told BBC CWR the evacuation had caused chaos, with pupils and staff forced to leave their belongings behind, including clothing, and car and house keys.
