Santee Sheriff's detectives are seeking the person who called in a bomb threat to the home improvement store in Santee on Tuesday.

The store was closed for about an hour Tuesday evening around 5:15 p.m. after a store employee received a phone call from someone claiming a bomb was in the store, according to San Diego County Sheriff's Sgt. Tom Poulin.

Sheriff's investigators have determined that the call was placed at about 4 p.m. from an unlisted number that isn't in service any longer, according to authorities.

Nothing suspicious was found when deputies searched the store.
