No explosives found after threat prompts evacuation at Doraville QuikTrip

A bomb threat at a QuikTrip forced Doraville police to close Pleasantdale Road on Wednesday morning.

The building was cleared “with no explosives present” shortly after 11 a.m., the police department said on Twitter. It was not clear what prompted the evacuation.

All lanes of Pleasantdale Road were also reopened at the I-85 frontage road, including the ramps to the interstate.
