An Apple Valley Walgreens was evacuated after a bomb threat Monday -- the third in one day at the drug store chain, after two incidents earlier this month.

The store at intersection of 153rd Street and Cedar Avenue received the phoned-in threat around 12:50 p.m. The store is about 3 miles from the target of a Sept. 4 threat, the store at 140th Street and Pilot Knob Road.

In both cases, bomb-sniffing dogs from the airport police were deployed and no explosive devices were found.

Apple Valley Police say they don't know if the two threats were related. No arrests have been made and police say they have no suspects.

A Walgreens in Rosemount was also threatened Sept. 4.

Minneapolis police handled two threats Monday. One call, about the store on Nicollet Mall downtown and closed the busy area outside the store briefly. It was determined to be a fake threat.

The other threat involved the Walgreens at 4547 Hiawatha Ave.
