Unfounded Bomb Threat Closes CVS for Two Hours

Whitefish Bay police cars blocked off the parking lot as canines and bomb technicians investigated a bomb threat at the Hampton Avenue store Thursday afternoon.

Whitefish Bay Interim Police Chief Ron Stefanski said the CVS manager called the police station at 2:20 p.m. after an employee received a vague phone call about a bomb being located in the store. The store closed its doors, and managers told employees and customers to leave.

Police have not determined who the caller is, but the CVS employee who received the call said it was a male adult.

Whitefish Bay police worked with Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office canines and bomb technicians as they investigated the store for two hours. Nothing suspicious was found in the store, and the store opened its doors for business soon after.
