The Susanville Dollar Tree Store on Main Street was the victim of a bomb threat on Sunday according to details released today by the Susanville Police Department.
Officers from the Police Department were called to the Dollar Tree at around 8:30 Sunday evening after a male subject called the store stating that he had placed a bomb in the store and he would detonate it if the employee refused to cooperate with the caller’s demand for money. The Dollar Tree employee refused, and the suspect eventually hung up.
“As a precautionary measure,” explains Police Chief Tom Downing, “the store was evacuated and officers searched the area for anything suspicious. No suspicious items were located, at which point the store resumed normal operations.”
The police department continues to investigate this case. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Susanville Police Department at (530) 257-5603 or 1801 Main Street Susanville. You can remain anonymous if you wish.
