Vermont State Police are investigating a bomb threat at a St. Johnsbury manufacturer, the fourth such incident at the same business in recent months.

Troopers reported that a threat was discovered scrawled in a bathroom stall at Weidmann Electrical Technology around 10:30 a.m. on June 19. The facility was evacuated, and officers searched the building but found nothing suspicious.

Police say none of the previous threats have turned up any devices or hazardous materials. Investigators are looking into whether the incidents are connected.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Vermont State Police in St. Johnsbury at 802-748-3111 or submit an anonymous tip online.

NEK will be looking into whether state police have identified any suspects or patterns linking the four threats.
