The Department of Safety said they are investigating a series of bomb threats called into New Hampshire colleges and universities — but, at this time, those threats don't appear to be credible.

The agency said about 10 higher education facilities received calls from the same phone number on Tuesday.

"The caller, who may be from overseas, appears to be using a spoofed number," they said.

State officials said they are investigating the situation. They asked anyone who receives a bomb threat to contact law enforcement immediately.
