On September 17, 2019, at around 1:45 pm, the Cape Coral Police Department received a call regarding a threat that someone heard at the Ross, located at 1631 Del Prado Blvd S.

A female told police that she heard someone make a threat and believed the unknown male would carry it out. The female would not speak with Officers on scene and became uncooperative.

Officers, believing a threat was possible, cleared the Ross store to check for the suspect, but no one was found matching the basic description given. After watching security videos, it appears that the unknown male she described was not seen. It is believed that there was no suspect making threats in the store.

We take the safety of our citizens very seriously and will treat every threat as if they are legitimate until they are thoroughly investigated.
