Mumford Road Walmart re-opened after bomb threat

Bomb threat causes Walmart evacuation A heavy police presence Saturday morning after a bomb threat involving the Mumford Road Walmart in Halifax.

HALIFAX — Halifax Regional Police say the Walmart on Mumford Road, along with the area, have re-opened after a bomb threat.

Police say they will continue to have a presence in the area "for the foreseeable future," but say they have cleared the area and business of potential risks to the public.

Just after 8:45 a.m., police responded to the Walmart at 6990 Mumford Road after receiving a bomb threat from an anonymous caller.

As a precaution, HRP says everyone was evacuated from the building, and entrances to the property from Mumford and Chebucto roads closed. Everything has since re-opened.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
