MIDWEST CITY, Okla. -

Multiple Midwest City municipal offices have resumed normal operations after being evacuated on Monday following reports of an explosive device in the area, according to city leaders.

The City of Midwest City said officers with the Midwest City Police Department responded to a reported bomb threat inside a vehicle at a fire station along East Reno Avenue near South Midwest Boulevard.

After arriving at the scene, officers worked to evacuate the fire station and several nearby municipal offices, including the library and U.S. Post Office building. Midwest City Police say officers later located vehicle involved and the immediate area was cordoned off.
