Crime scene tape.

A bomb threat forced an evacuation at Eastview Mall yesterday evening.

The Ontario County Sheriff's Office dispatch confirms the call came in just before 6:15 PM. The mall was evacuated out of an abundance of caution.

After a thorough sweep, first responders found no bomb or other threat to the public. The mall still closed early.
