An Apple Valley Walgreens was evacuated after a bomb threat
Monday -- the third in one day at the drug store chain, after
two incidents earlier this month.  The store at intersection of
153rd Street and Cedar Avenue received the phoned-in threat
around 12:50 p.m. The store is about 3 miles from the target of
a Sept. 4 threat, the store at 140th Street and Pilot Knob Road.
In both cases, bomb-sniffing dogs from the airport police were
deployed and no explosive devices were found.  Apple Valley
Police say they don't know if the two threats were related. No
arrests have been made and police say they have no suspects.  A
Walgreens in Rosemount was also threatened Sept. 4.  Minneapolis
police handled two threats Monday. One call, about the store on
Nicollet Mall downtown and closed the busy area outside the
store briefly. It was determined to be a fake threat.  The other
threat involved the Walgreens at 4547 Hiawatha Ave.   John
