Bomb threat temporarily evacuates GFS store

A bomb threat Sunday afternoon evacuated a Kettering store.

The manager of Gordon Food Service Marketplace, 2930 Wilmington Pike, shortly after 2 p.m. reported receiving two phone calls indicating there was a bomb in the store, Kettering police Lt. William Karolyi said.

In the second phone call, only one word was spoken: “bomb,” Karolyi said.

An explosives detecting dog from the Dayton Airport police responded, but did not find any devices inside the store. Employees and customers were allowed back inside within an hour and a half, Karolyi said.

Police are still investigating to determine the caller’s identity.
