LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A bomb threat from a woman parked on the second floor of a downtown parking garage prompted a police investigation into a "suspicious item" on Monday morning, a police source told Channel 13.

Police say an arrest was made in connection with the investigation.

"However, despite the threat, nothing of concern was located," an LVMPD spokesperson told Channel 13.
