POLICE were called to a secondary school in Glasgow after two “intruders” gained access to the building while it was locked.
Cops attended Cleveden Secondary School in the Kelvindale area of the city yesterday after the incident sparked a worried alert.
The school sent an alarming email to parents informing them of the incident but assured them that everyone was safe.
According to Glasgow Live, the email stated that two people who are “not associated” with the school had “gained access” to the building.
However, it went on to claim that the school was locked and the two individuals were “let in” by a pupil.
They added that while the pair left “without incident” after a “very brief period”, it could have quickly become a dangerous situation.
Staff at the school explained that teachers would be talking to all of the pupils today to explain the “potential seriousness” of the incident.
However, they stressed that “‘no harm was caused” by the two people who entered the building.
