Dedicated to Empowering and Informing the Burlingame Community

The Mercury Times is reporting

Police are looking for whoever called in bomb threats to three separate businesses within a roughly 30 minute period on Saturday night.

The Safeway store on Howard Avenue got the first call, which came about 7:15 p.m., said Burlingame Police Capt. Mike Matteucci. The caller asked to speak to the manager, then said that he worked for the CIA and had placed a bomb in the store because it has "communist ties," Matteucci said. The store was not evacuated but the incident was reported to police.

Peet's and Starbuck's got the next two calls and did quick searches to no avail.

    Maybe that explains the increased police presence today. They have been out and about in and near our downtown area-
