KAMLOOPS — UPDATE: School District 73 officials say they have been given the ‘all clear’ to return staff and students to the schools.

Graffiti on the outside of one of the schools said, “find the bomb.” School district personnel have since covered the message with paint.

EARLIER: A pair of Westsyde schools have been evacuated after RCMP say suspicious messages were written on the school.

The schools that were evacuated are David Thompson Elementary School and Westsyde Secondary School.

RCMP say they have established a perimeter and are keeping people a safe distance away from the buildings. Tactical evacuations of some nearby residences are underway.

More to come.
