PLYMOUTH, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Classes resumed Tuesday after Plymouth High School was evacuated Monday afternoon due to a bomb threat deemed not credible. 

The bomb threat was received in the afternoon on Monday, April 17, following dismissal, and as a precaution, Canton police evacuated the building and sports fields.

Authorities and K-9 teams from Canton Township, Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, Wayne County Airport Authority, Farmington Hills, Oakland County, ATF, Ann Arbor, Great Lakes Water Authority and Trinity Health responded to conduct an investigation.
