Multiple bomb threats were made against synagogues in New York City on Saturday, including one to the Brooklyn Heights Synagogue on Remsen Street and the Brooklyn Museum, according to the New York City Police Department.

New York officials said the threats were unfounded and investigators are working to find whoever was responsible, according to CBS2 New York. 

All of the locations that were threatened, which included several Manhattan synagogues, received emails claiming there were explosives inside their buildings or nearby, according to the police.

Police said an email was sent to the Brooklyn Museum threatening to blow up the Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum subway station. The MTA said an unusual package was reported outside the station, but service was not affected. Click here to read more on CBS2 New York
