Bomb threat closes part of downtown
|
A bomb threat at the courthouse resulted in part of downtown Crescent City being cordoned off for more than an hour Tuesday. “The threat came in at 1:10 p.m.,” said police Sgt. Garrett Scott. “A team of 10 officers hand-searched the interior and the perimeter, including vehicles.” No suspicious items were located and at 2:27 p.m. the all-clear was sounded, streets reopened and courthouse employees were allowed to return to work. The cordoned-off area was larger than during past courthouse bomb threats due to the high pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the area, Scott said. “We are currently working on a couple of leads that may help us locate a suspect,” he said. |
