SALT LAKE CITY — The all clear has been given after a Salt Lake City bank and nearby arts academy were evacuated Friday after reports of a robbery.
Police said officers had taken a suspect into custody at the American United Federal Credit Union near 800 South and 200 East, but bank employees were told to evacuate due to an unattended bag.
Employees at the Salt Lake Arts Academy were also evacuated, while another business was told to shelter-in-place.
The Salt Lake City Police Department originally received reports of a panic alarm being set off at the bank before taking a 911 call from inside the building.
Because of comments made by the unidentified suspect, the Hazardous Devices Unit was called out to investigate the bag to see if it posed any threat. They determined there was none and were able to clear the scene.
