Someone phoned in a bomb threat to the county’s Emergency Communications Center in Courthouse yesterday morning.
The threat was made just before 9 a.m. on July 5. It prompted a sweep of the building, which houses the Arlington County Police Department’s headquarters and the local courts. No explosives were found.
A similar threat was made last September on police headquarters. No explosives were found that time either.
From an ACPD crime report:
