Canadian police have stepped up their presence around a number of Islamic schools after the institutions received threatening emails from an anonymous sender identifying themselves as 'Citizen Vigilante,' who threatened violence against the schools.

The emails, described by recipients as alarming in tone, prompted school administrators to alert law enforcement, which responded by increasing patrols and visible security measures in the areas surrounding the targeted institutions as a precaution.

Community concern grows

The threats have raised concern within Canada's Muslim community, which has in recent years reported a rise in hate-motivated incidents targeting mosques, schools and other community institutions. Advocacy groups have called for a thorough investigation and for authorities to treat the threats with the seriousness they warrant.

Police have not publicly identified a suspect and say the investigation into the source of the emails is ongoing. Officials have urged anyone with information related to the threats to come forward, while reassuring the affected school communities that additional protective measures will remain in place while the inquiry continues.
