AURORA | The King Soopers store and surrounding parking lot at East Cornell Avenue and South Peoria Street were closed for about three hours as police investigated a bomb threat called into the service desk earlier Monday afternoon.
Police at the scene said someone called in a bomb threat to the King Soopers customer service desk at about 3:30 p.m.
Police said the caller told employees there were “numerous” bombs set outside of the store in the parking lot, according to Aurora police spokesperson Joe Moylan.
The store and parking lot were evacuated.
Some retail outlets on the south side of the parking lot that were open were instructed to shelter in place.
Similarly, residents in apartments at the site and residents in the immediate area were also been instructed to shelter in place.
At about 6:30 p.m. police said they had swept the store and parking lot to look for possible explosives. Finding nothing, the scene was cleared.
King Soopers officials at the store said the store was partially open this evening, and would resume all normal services Tuesday.
How much did the criminal-caller co$t the grocery store and Arapahoe County for the re$pon$e?
Hope thathey place a recorder on their telephones.
You do not need to inform callers thathey are being recorded.
Reading comprehension: F
The article repeatedly mentions the “police”, meaning Aurora Police. Nothing about Arapahoe County or its sheriff.
