San Antonio police responded to a bomb threat at the Rivercenter Mall downtown Friday morning that turned out to be a hoax.

The threat was called in around 11 a.m., according to the San Antonio Police Department.

Someone called police and said he had left a bomb behind a toilet inside the mall, police said.

SAPD determined early on the threat was not credible and no evidence of a bomb was found.
