Three bomb threats made across Miami found not credible. Police want tips on caller
Miami police said they did not find any suspicious packages or items after investigating bomb threats at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, Bayside Marketplace and at a Metromover station in the city Thursday night.
Now, detectives are trying to find the person or people behind the calls.
It all began Thursday night when police say they received three separate calls, possibly by pay phone, about the bombs.
Officers were immediately sent to search the areas and did not find any “suspicious findings,” Miami police spokeswoman Officer Kiara Delva said Friday morning.
Just before 10 p.m. Thursday, Miami-Dade Transit tweeted that Metrorail trains would bypass the Government Center station due to police activity. About 15 minutes later, the Metrorail resumed regular service. It is unclear if the bypass had to do with the bomb threats.
Miami Dade College’s Office of Emergency Management and Campus Public Safety also tweeted Thursday it was, “aware of a possible bomb threat investigation by Miami police on or near #MDCWolfson Campus. However, law enforcement has determined it was not credible. ALL CLEAR NO ACTION REQUIRED.”
As of Friday morning, police do not have anyone in custody and investigators are still trying to determine if all three calls were made by the same person, Delva said.
Anyone with information that can help police with this investigation is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS or submit a tip online at https://www.crimestoppers305.com/.
