The threat was made to the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford around 7:13 a.m.
New Jersey State Police quickly evacuated the building and swept the mall with a K9 unit.
“NJSP Bomb Unit and K-9 unit performed sweeps of the mall for explosive devices and none were found. The mall has been deemed safe and American Dream will be returning to normal operations. This is still an active investigation and there is no additional information available,” the New Jersey State Police wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
