An investigation is ongoing following a bomb threat that prompted the evacuation of a commercial building in New Braunfels. Police, assisted by K-9 units, are searching the site on Independence Drive to determine the credibility of the threat. The location is about half an hour from San Antonio, according to My San Antonio.
The New Braunfels Police Department indicated that the building was promptly evacuated and there have been no injuries reported. Authorities are, however, warning locals to anticipate traffic disruptions in the vicinity as they continue to carefully investigate the situation. According to the details shared by the police with CBS Austin, the incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon.
Speculation was the bomb threat was aimed at the TaskUs workspace offices located at 1650 Independence Drive. Further information divulged by a city spokesperson and reported by My San Antonio confirms that TaskUs was in fact the targeted location. Updates from the authorities on the matter are expected to be disseminated through the New Braunfels Police Department's Facebook page.
As the investigation continues, the police department assures the public that they will provide updates on new developments.
