Investigators on Monday said they are still looking for a man who made a bomb threat that shut down a Home Depot in Prescott Valley last month.
On Nov. 30 at around 8 a.m., a man walked into the home-improvement store and told the store manager that he had a bomb in a nylon case he was carrying, Prescott Valley police officials said. He then put the case down inside the store and walked out.
The manager called police, who evacuated the Home Depot and adjacent businesses. Bomb-squad technicians located the device at about 12:25 p.m. and rendered it safe before giving the all-clear at 1:30 p.m., police said.
Officials said at the time that investigators believed the device in the nylon case was a real bomb, but it wasn't until bomb technicians probed and neutralized the device that they discovered it was part of a hoax. Technicians determined there were no explosives inside the case, police said.
