By LYNDA COHEN, BreakingAC Atlantic City police found no valid threat after a man claimed to have firearms and an explosive device inside the Borgata Casino Hotel and Spa.

No suspicious individuals or devices were located. Portions of the building were briefly evacuated in an abundance of caution, Fair said.

Patrons have been allowed back into the building and police cleared the scene by 7 p.m. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 609-347-5766.
