The Peoria Police Department is investigating a reported bomb threat at BioUrja Renewables, formerly the ADM plant on Edwards Street near Downtown Peoria.
As a precautionary measure, police are urging anyone who lives or works within a one-mile radius of the facility to immediately evacuate their homes and businesses until further notice, according to a Friday night news release. People are urged to avoid the one-mile area of the facility until further notice, and most streets in the area have been closed off.
Officers responded to the scene to conduct an investigation and search of the facility.
Police said the evacuation recommendation "is being issued out of an abundance of caution while officers and emergency personnel investigate the threat."
Residents and businesses within the designated area are asked to cooperate with emergency personnel and avoid the area until further notice. Anyone who needs to seek shelter is asked to go to Manual High School, 811 S. Griswold St.
East Peoria police also issued an evacuation order for the one-mile radius from the plant.
"There has been a credible threat and the City is taking this seriously," East Peoria Mayor John Kahl posted on Facebook.
Those evacuating in East Peoria were directed to EastSide Centre, 1 EastSide Drive, according to the city.
