SYRACUSE, Utah — Police in Syracuse warned the public to avoid a specific area in the city Monday due to a reported bomb threat.

The bomb squad responded to the Elevations Residential Treatment Center at 2650 West 2700 South at 1:30 p.m. where the threat was centered. Students and faculty at the location were evacuated and a shelter-in-place was issued for nearby residents.

During the investigation police told everyone to avoid 2700 South from 2000 West to 3000 West.

Following a search, no devices or bombs were located and the facility was cleared, with the shelter-in-place order being lifted a few hours later. There are currently no longer any traffic diversions in the area.
