CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE – County Prosecutor Robert Taylor and Middle Township Police Chief Joseph Evangelista announced on Tuesday, April 8 that an investigation into the source of bomb threat that forced an evacuation of Atlantic Cape Community College the day before is ongoing.
College spokeswoman Kathy McGowan said that at approximately 12:45 p.m. Monday, April 7, a staff member of the college received a telephone call form an unknown male caller who claimed an explosive device was located within the school building.
College officials cancelled all classes and evacuated the building.
Students were notified by a text message, and a statement was posted on the college’s Web site stating that 2 p.m. classes were canceled, but 5 p.m. classes would proceed. The Web site referred to police activity in the area.
Middle Township police responded to the campus with members of the county sheriff’s K-9 unit, the county prosecutor’s Major Crime Unit and the Atlantic City Bomb Squad.
The building was searched, and no suspicious devices were discovered. Police units left the campus at approximately 4:15 p.m.
"The college is taking every precaution," McGowan said. 
No one at the Middle Township Police Department was immediately available for comment.
The closure only affected the Cape May County campus, not the Mays Landing or Atlantic City campuses.
