Police are trying to determine Sunday who called in a bomb threat that forced the evacuation of a Walmart in Temecula.
The threat was called in about 7:15 p.m. Saturday at the Walmart in the 22000 block of Temecula Parkway, sheriff's Sgt. Don Fortney said.
The store was evacuated and employees and customers moved to a safe location, Fortney said.
"The business was searched and a suspicious package was located near the front of the store,'' he said. "The Hazardous Device Team later determined the package was not harmful.''
Two bomb-sniffing dogs went through the store and did not find anything suspicious, Fortney said.
Investigators were continuing to try to find out the identity of the caller.
The sheriff's department asked anyone with information to call the Temecula Police Department at (951) 696-3000.
