OPA-LOCKA, FLA. (WSVN) - Police have taken a Hialeah woman into custody after she allegedly called in bomb threats to a Department of Drivers and Motor Vehicle office in Opa-locka.
Miami-Dade Police and Fire Rescue crews responded to the office, located along the 12000 block of Northwest 42nd Avenue, at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 7.
According to the arrest report, Raiza Cueto-Alvarez, 54, called the DMV and said a bomb would go off in five minutes and then hung up.
The building was evacuated and later cleared by police and K-9 units.
The following day, Cueto-Alvarez called the office again stating a bomb was “going off right now,” according to the arrest report. The building was evacuated and cleared by authorities later.
Authorities traced the phone number back to Cueto-Alvarez for both phone calls made.
She was arrested Wednesday afternoon and charged with threatening to throw a bomb or destructive device.
Cueto-Alvarez is being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
