STREETSBORO, Ohio - Streetsboro police are investigating after a bomb threat at Walmart on Wednesday.

A Walmart employee received the bomb threat by phone at about 4:22 p.m. and called police.

Workers were evacuating customers when Streetsboro police arrived. Officers searched the store, but nothing suspicious was found, according to the police department. The store was opened back up for customers and employees.

Earlier this month, a bomb threat was made at the Walmart on Brookpark Road in Brooklyn . Police there said the threat came in through the store’s two-way radio and employees had been harassed for weeks. No explosives were found during that incident.
