WEST HAVEN, Utah — A mailed bomb threat at a West Haven company prompted a heavy police presence in Weber County early Tuesday.

The Utah Highway Patrol said the threat was sent by mail to Boman and Kemp Manufacturing near 2300 South 1900 West. Due to the threat and the letter's content, the business and nearby businesses were evacuated.

A bomb squad with the Davis County Sheriff's Office swept the building and found nothing related to the threat, and the business was allowed to reopen; the Weber County Sheriff's Office said there is no threat to the public.

After several hours of diverting traffic away from 1900 West, the road has since been reopened, although an investigation into the threat remains ongoing.
