PORTAGE, Mich. — The Crossroads Mall was targeted in a possible “swatting” incident Monday evening.
The Portage Department of Public Safety (PDPS) says they responded to a reported bomb threat at about 6:45 p.m.
We’re told a K9 unit from the WMU Police Department was summoned to search the mall after officials evacuated the building. Nothing dangerous was found.
PDPS believes someone may have filed a false report of a crime, an action otherwise known as “swatting.”
The public is not at further risk from the incident, public safety officials say.
