Hingham, MA – Several homes and businesses were evacuated Sunday afternoon as police investigated a bomb threat against a synagogue on the South Shore, according to the Hingham Police Department.
Police were said to be investigating a bomb threat at 1112 Main St. in Hingham on the afternoon of Nov. 19.
This is the same address for Congregation Sha’aray Shalom. The synagogue “serves as the lighthouse for Reform Judaism on Boston’s South Shore,” according to their website.
“All affected houses and businesses have been evacuated,” Hingham police said just after 2 p.m. on X, formerly known as Twitter. Authorities did not find any explosives after searching the Jewish temple, police said in an update on X around 3:20 p.m.
Route 228 was also closed from Gardner Street to Whiting Street but has since reopened, police added. The incident remains under investigation.
