Evacuation At Ocean County College As National Bomb Hoax Goes On

A building at Ocean County College was evacuated on Thursday as a rash of bomb hoaxes were reported across the country.

Because of suspicious activity at The Grunin Center in Building #11, Ocean County College reported that it was "necessary to evacuate the building immediately."

"Do not use cellular phones," the alert said.

It's possible that this evacuation could be related to similar hoaxes that have happened nationwide and across New Jersey.
