Camp Lejeune has received the “all clear” after bomb threats were called in this morning. The base announced on their Facebook page that the Provost Marshall Office was working an incident in the area of the mainside Exchange/Commissary. Colonel Annita Best says a bomb threat was called in to the Starbucks inside the Exchange around 7:30.
“Immediately, one of the employees at Starbucks called 9-1-1 and the military police showed up with their explosives detection dogs and evacuated the area, closed off the road, and began checking vehicles and the facility with the dogs. Nothing was discovered.”
Thirty minutes after the initial call, another bomb treat was made at a nearby Dunkin Donuts. Col. Best says personnel are returning to work and the roads are opening again. At this time, there are no leads as to who called in the bomb threat.
