Bomb Threats Reported At Hospital, No Explosives Found

Bolingbrook Police are still looking for a suspect they believe made a series of phony bomb threats Sept. 6, including two at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, officials say.

Bolingbrook Police Lieutenant Michael Rompa said two sets of nearly the same threats hit two Bolingbrook locations—the hospital and White Castle at 120 S. Bolingbrook Dr.

Rompa said no explosives were found at either site. The police are following all leads, he said, including a possible a male suspect in his 20s.

The first threats occured at 4:09 a.m., when police responded to the White Castle after the suspect called several times sounding intoxicated. While officers were on the scene, another bomb threat was made against Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, and according to the police report, the caller contacted Adventist Hindsdale Hospital to make the threat.

Then again, at 1:56 p.m., officers received another set of threats. They believe all were made by the same suspect.

Officers again responded to the White Castle, and again were interrupted with another threat for the hospital. According to the police report, both locations were walked through by teams of officers and establishment personnel and neither location was evacuated.
