Canton police say they received a call around 6:30 p.m. Saturday in which the caller indicated that bombs had been placed at three local businesses including the Wal-Mart on Tuscarawas Street W, the Circle K on Mahoning Road NE and the Canton police department.
Police called the Wal-Mart and Circle K and asked customers to leave the stores.
Canton police K9s searched the businesses but did not find anything suspicious.
