Jean McGraw, 54, from Santa Clarita, was reportedly visiting different business establishments in Valencia this past week, leaving notes, stating “there’s a bomb,” according to officials.
“There are some things that you just don’t joke about and one of those involves bombs,” said Shirley Miller, a spokesperson with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station in a social media post. “This is no laughing matter — it’s comparable to when we have students making threats directed at schools. They may be ‘just kidding,’ but we treat every incident seriously and conduct a full and thorough investigation. We don’t take chances with the safety of our community.”
