Report of suspicious person at Yorktown Mall 'unfounded,' Lombard officials say
LOMBARD, Ill. - Lombard officials said there was no credible threat to the public Tuesday after a "suspicious person" prompted a heavy police presence at Yorktown Mall.

Roughly 45 minutes later, Lombard police issued an all-clear, saying the person of interest was located, and the initial report was "unfounded."
