A "parcel bomb alert" led to the evacuation of the Masséna high school, this Tuesday morning, in the city center of Nice, said the first deputy mayor Anthony Borré.
The management was worried about seeing this package arrive from Russia and “immediately warned the police”, specified the headmaster Gilles Kleczek in
Nice-Matin
.
This cubic cardboard about forty centimeters on a side, which came from the city of Moscow and whose adhesive tape bore an inscription in Cyrillic, was "addressed to the entire establishment", also indicated the manager.
Operation completed.
Congratulations to the high school management team who had the right reflexes to protect students and staff.
Thank you to our police officers and firefighters who, once again, have shown great professionalism!
