Reported Threat at the Borgata Results in Increased Police Presence
Law enforcement arrived at the property Thursday afternoon after an anonymous threat by a person who claimed to have guns and explosives

A large number of police officers and vehicles gathered at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa Thursday afternoon after an anonymous threat. Just before 4 PM, the Atlantic City Police Department (ACPD) received a call from an anonymous male who claimed to be a guest at the luxury hotel and casino and was in possession of explosives and guns.
The call resulted in the immediate dispatch of law enforcement to the Borgata where nearly two dozen police cruisers gathered. As announced by BreakingAC, the hotel and casino were also visited by the AC Bomb Squad.
Law enforcement blocked roads close to the property, diverting traffic. Moreover, the hotel and casino’s entrances were blocked by police officers while a sweep of the property was conducted.
A statement released by the ACPD revealed that an investigation into the threat is ongoing. In the afternoon, law enforcement said that there is no active shooter on site.
