Caller threatens to detonate bomb
Police responded about 2 p.m. Monday to a pharmacy in the 100 block of West University Drive after an employee called 911. The employee said that she received a telephone call from a man with a Middle Eastern or Indian accent. The man instructed the woman to load four Green Dot Cards with $500 each and wait for further instructions. He said that he had hidden a bomb in the store the previous night and that if she did not hand over the cards the bomb would be detonated. He said the store was being watched. He also threatened to harm the woman and her family if she did not do as he told her. The store manager said that other stores in the Metroplex had received such calls as well. Denton firefighters responded to the store and searched for a bomb but none was found. The fire marshal is working with police, and an investigation is ongoing.
