Police on are investigating a series of reported bomb threats at different pharmacies in Lebanon County, which may be tied to other threats nationwide.

Lebanon City Police responded to a bomb threats made at  Rite Aid, 415 S. 9th Street, and at CVS, 833 Bowman Street on July 9.

Investigators said a man called the pharmacies and demanded the manager activate several Green Dot prepaid credit cards. The caller claimed if the manager didn’t comply, the bomb would go off.
