Update: Police say bomb threat that closed SLO street was likely a hoax
San Luis Obispo police closed a portion of Peach Street on Thursday due to reports of a bomb threat.
The Police Department closed the 1000 block of Peach Street at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, and people were asked to avoid the area, the agency tweeted.
No suspicious packages or devices were found, however, and police reopened the neighborhood later Thursday afternoon.
“The neighborhood is safe,” the department said. “Investigators believe this to be a hoax.”
The department thanked the Cal Poly Police Department and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office for assistance in the response.
