Extra Security at Naugatuck Schools After ‘Clown' Threats

Naugatuck police said they are investigating social media posts by "clowns" that mentioned the town's school district.

As a precautionary measure, Naugatuck schools will have added security and police presence on Tuesday. 

Police said they do not believe the threats are credible, however, they are still investigating.
