A Publix in St. Johns County reopened Monday afternoon after authorities investigated a bomb threat and found no real danger.
The store, located at 220 Front Street in Sawgrass Village, was evacuated Monday morning as a precaution. The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and conducted a thorough investigation.
Officials had warned people to stay away from the area due to a heavy police presence.
