A 13-year-old Harrisburg boy is facing charges after police say he called a bomb threat into a local Chuck E. Cheese's.

According to the Susquehanna Township Police Department, officers were dispatched to the restaurant on the 3800 block of Union Deposit Road, where the threat had been called in around 1:22 p.m. Saturday.

Several businesses were evacuated for about an hour as bomb-detection dogs from the Capitol Police and Dauphin County Sheriff's Department searched the building and found nothing.

The call was traced back to a 13-year-old boy from Harrisburg, who was arrested and charged with one count of terroristic threats.
