UPDATE: Other Walmart stores besides the one cleared tonight in Saddle Brook have received bomb threats, CLIFFVIEW PILOT has learned.
“We are working to identify the source of the calls,” Police Chief Robert Kugler told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.
The Bergen County Bomb Squad swept the building and surrounding area after store management received a telephoned threat around 5:30 p.m.
Both the store and surrounding businesses were evacuated as a precaution, Kugler said. Meanwhile, borough firefighters and EMS workers gathered at the firehouse.
The all-clear was given just before 7 p.m.
