DURHAM, N.C. — Authorities on Sunday were investigating after receiving several phone calls from a man making threats against The Streets at Southpoint.

Durham police said officers arrived at the Nordstrom store at about 3 p.m. after a man calling from a Virginia area code made four separate phone calls in which threats were made.

The Nordstrom store was evacuated and closed while authorities searched the area, but no bomb was found.

Authorities did not say if all four calls specifically mentioned Nordstrom or if the threat extended to other portions of the mall.

Several employees at other stores in the mall said they were never informed of the threat and the mall remained open as normal while authorities investigated.

Anybody with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 919-683-1200.
