Farmington Hills, MI – A synagogue in Farmington Hills on Friday said it received a bomb threat that turned out to be a hoax, according to an email sent to members of Temple Adat Shalom.
According to the email from Rabbi Aaron Bergman, the synagogue’s office received a call from an out-of-state area code about 3 p.m. Friday. The caller reportedly claimed to have planted a pipe bomb at the synagogue.
The building at 29901 Middlebelt Road was evacuated “without incident,” Bergman said, and no bombs were found by police or police dogs that swept the site.
The incident appears to be “a cruel hoax designed to terrorize our communities,” Bergman wrote.
Farmington Hills police confirmed to The Detroit News the department responded to a bomb threat at the synagogue Friday and expect to release more information Monday.
