BURLINGTON — Chief Thomas Browne would like to provide an update on the Burlington Police Department’s joint investigation into threats that were made during an incident in Woburn on Sunday.
On Sunday, May 11, at approximately 5:30 p.m., Burlington Police responded to a call from Woburn Police about a man who walked into a gas station and made statements that were perceived as threatening regarding the Burlington Mall.
Through an investigation by Burlington Police and Woburn Police, investigators determined the identity of the suspect and located him. Police determined that the man has no access to firearms and was experiencing a mental health crisis.
At this time, police are confident that Burlington Mall is safe, and do not believe there was ever a credible threat on Sunday.
The joint investigation remains active and ongoing, including whether police will file any charges.
