PROVO — Provo police say they found no signs of a bomb following a bomb threat Saturday morning.
The threat was issued toward Mosaics Bookstore, located at 1500 N. State Street and was received by the KSL Assignment Desk around 9:05 a.m.
The email stated that “bombs will go off.” It appeared to reference opposition to events held at that location, including “all ages drag story hour.”
According to a news release from police, officers responded to the scene and conducted a sweep of the location, which included the use of a bomb detection K-9.
“No bombs or suspicious packages were found,” the release stated.
Police said the investigation into the incident, including finding the individual or individuals responsible, is ongoing.
