Search turns up no bomb in Lancaster
Update: Police are reopening streets and letting people back into their homes and businesses, the Associated Press reports. No bomb was discovered, but the parking garage will remain closed until further notice.
Original report: Residents are being evacuated from part of a central Pennsylvania city after police received a phone call about explosives inside a parking garage, the AP reports.
Officials say residents of several blocks in downtown Lancaster were asked to leave their homes early Monday after police received an anonymous phone call reporting explosives at the garage.
Fire Battalion Chief Duane Hagelgans says officers who investigated saw a package that was suspicious enough that officials are treating the threat as credible.
