PORT ANGELES — An anonymous letter found in a Safeway store, east of Port Angeles, suggesting supermarket products were tampered with includes a threat to extort money, a Clallam County Sheriff’s Department official confirmed Saturday.
No actual tamperings or injuries have been reported at the store where the threat was made or any other grocery store in the state.
A note found attached to a baby food jar in the Safeway on U.S. Highway 101, just east of Port Angeles, Thursday morning threatened to harm people if the sender did not receive a certain amount of money, according to a store employee.
The note was found in the store Thursday morning and reported to the Sheriff’s Department. It contained an extortion demand and threats of tampering to products in the store.
