All Clear After Arlington Police Station Evacuated Due to Bomb Threat

Despite an earlier evacuation, no bomb was found at the Arlington, Virginia Police station Saturday.

The station was evacuated Saturday night after the station received a bomb threat and a K-9 officer indicated a "preliminary hit" on the side of the building accessible to the public. The threat came from what officials called an automated phone call.

The building is located on the 1400 block of N. Courthouse Road. Police stressed through the night that their response -- including the K-9 search and the evacuation -- was out of an abundance of caution.

The station houses both the emergency communications center and the police department. Emergency communications staff had to move to a secondary location.
