MILFORD, Conn. — Two teens were arrested in connection to a non-credible bomb threat at the movie theater in Milford's Connecticut Post Mall, according to police.

Police were called to the Cinemark Movie Theater at the mall around 1:30 p.m. on March 3 on a report of a person on the phone reporting he was standing outside the movie theater with a bomb.

There was a heavy police presence at the scene as officers cleared the parking lot and movie theater, police said. Officers deemed the call to be a hoax and that there was no viable threat.
