Police in Peoria, Illinois, are investigating a "credible" bomb threat at a local plant and are urging anyone who lives or works within a one-mile radius of the facility to evacuate immediately. The Peoria Police Department said the evacuation recommendation was issued as a precaution while officers and emergency personnel investigated the threat at BioUrja Renewables. Police determined at about 6:45 p.m. local time Friday that a package at the facility was a credible threat and established a one-mile blast radius, officials said. Bomb technicians rendered the package safe at about 9:12 p.m. local time, according to police. However, authorities said a thorough search of the large facility was expected to continue into Saturday, likely until late afternoon. Officials said they were not treating the incident as a hoax. |
