Suspicious Device Found at King of Prussia Mall; Court Evacuated

A suspicious device found at King of Prussia Mall caused part of the mall—the Court— to be evacuated, 6abc.com reports.

According to NBCPhiladelphia.com, the suspicious device was found in Bloomingdale’s Court, causing that area—not the entire mall— to be cleared.

The Plaza is still occupied, and no announcements have been made there, according to a Twitter user who was at the Apple store when reports surfaced about the suspicious device. There is no noticeable extra security in the Plaza, he added.

Upper Merion police and firefighters were called to the scene, as well as the Montgomery County Bomb Squad, according to 6abc.com.

The device, a hollow training grenade, was found in a flower pot at the Court, Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Mari Schaefer tweeted. The grenade was not live.
