Two Long Beach Walmarts Evacuate After Bomb Threats

Two Walmart stores in Long Beach were evacuated Thursday afternoon after receiving letters indicating a bomb threat.

The store in the 3700 block of South Street reported the threat of a device being in the store around 8:45 a.m., according to Long Beach police.

The second store, in the 7200 block of Carson Boulevard, reported a similar threat around 11:30 a.m.

Police officers were searching both locations with K9s as of 12:30 p.m.

No devices were located. 

Walmart said the threats were not widespread, and only centered on the two Long Beach locations. 

It's unclear who was behind the letters, but police were continuing to investigate.
