Police say they received a call from someone claiming there was a bomb at the Freehold Raceway Mall on Route 9 in Freehold.

According to police, they received a transferred phone call Sunday around 7:30 p.m. from the neighboring Marlboro Police Department with a person on the line claiming that there was a bomb at the mall.
