The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said that while there was nothing to indicate the threat was credible, they evacuated the mall out of an abundance of caution, and they would investigate the threat until proven otherwise.
Deputies also had to evacuate the mall on Friday because of a bomb threat.
It’s not the only mall in Florida that has dealt with bomb threats in the last few days.
South Florida media outlets reported that the Dadeland Mall and the Dolphin Mall in the Miami area both received bomb threats and were evacuated over the weekend.
Law enforcement agents have not said whether they are investigating any connection between the bomb threats.
