Quinte West OPP continues to investigate a bomb threat which resulted in a temporary evacuation of stores in east end Trenton Monday afternoon.

Officers responded to the Giant Tiger plaza on Dundas Street East shortly after 2 p.m. after employees of a business reported they’d received a threatening phone call, indicating there was a bomb.

The store and neighbouring businesses were evacuated as a precaution, and the parking lot was cleared of drivers and pedestrians.

Officers and the OPP Canine Unit conducted a search and found no suspicious items.

The stores re-opened just before 3 p.m.

The investigation remains ongoing.
