Police continue to investigate a bomb threat at the Belle Vernon Walmart at 100 Sara Way Thursday afternoon, but their initial findings revealed that the person who reported the bomb threat was apparently a  rogue ex-employee of the store who still had a portable radio in their possession.  Police say Walmart employees heard a male voice give the proper code for a bomb threat over their internal radio communications twice in a very short period of time and they believed it was a credible threat.  The threat was made just after two o’clock and forced the evacuation of those inside the store.  The building was searched with K-9 officers and no explosive devices were found.
