Bomb threat clears Walmart in Midlothian, but 'no devices found'

Midlothian police evacuated a Walmart on Thursday night after a bomb threat and searched the store for a suspicious package.

By 9:30, police had completed their search and found nothing at the Supercenter along U.S. Highway 67, north of Main Street.
