Bomb Scare At Motor City Casino – Suspicious Devices Found

UPDATE: A 70-year-old Eastpointe man has been arrested after police say he left seven suspicious packages in the Motor City Casino garage Sunday.

After more than six and a half hours, Detroit police and Homeland Security officials allowed customers to retrieve their cars from the Motor City Casino parking garage.

The bomb squad detonated three suspicious devices out of at least six Sunday evening.

The items were discovered in the parking garage about 4:30 p.m. by a casino security guard.

The finding prompted police to sweep Greektown and MGM Grand Casinos with K-9s as a precaution; however, nothing was found.

None of the packages at Motor City turned out to be explosives; however, authorities were not revealing the contents of the parcels.

For about an hour and a half after the discovery officers weren’t letting people out of the building.

Later, they allowed customers to leave but they could not get their cars from the garage because of the ongoing investigation.
