Plant back to operation after bomb threat reported at Mobis North America in north Toledo

Employees were escorted from the building and entrances were blocked off until about 4:15 p.m.

TOLEDO, Ohio — An active bomb threat was reported in north Toledo on Monday afternoon, prompting an evacuation of the plant. By late afternoon, however, everything appeared to be back to normal at Mobis.  

Lt. Kellie Lenhardt with TPD said there was a bomb threat made against Mobis North America on Stickney as of 3:25 p.m.

An employee at Mobis received a phone call alleging that a bomb was somewhere in the facility.

Toledo Police responded with a K9 unit to search and clear the facility.

Toledo police escorted employees out of the parking lot in their vehicles, and all parking entrances were reportedly blocked until around 4:15 p.m.

Toledo Fire was also on scene and ready to help, but they cleared out earlier when police still had the area blocked off.

There was no impact on the nearby Toledo Jeep plant, and a Fiat Chrysler spokesperson said second shift production was expected to continue as scheduled at 5 p.m.

The facility's production line was on a scheduled shutdown, so financial losses were minimized.
