Bomb Threat Called into Cromwell Shop & Stop Unfounded

Customers and workers inside a Cromwell Stop & Shop were forced to evacuate on Friday, the stores district manager said. 

A bomb threat was made toward the grocery store located on 195 West Street but police determined it was a false alarm, a spokeswoman for Stop & Shop told NBC Connecticut. 

Cromwell Police, along with state troopers, responded at 4 p.m. and conducted a search of the premises.

The store was closed for about half an hour before shoppers and employees were allowed back in the building. 

Police determined it to be an isolated incident. 

No other details were immediately available.
