Police investigate bomb threat at Waikiki hotel

Police briefly closed Kalakaua Avenue this afternoon to investigate a bomb threat at the Moana Surfrider hotel.

Authorities began closing lanes for emergency vehicles at about 4:50 p.m. and completely closed the road from Seaside to Kaiulani avenues at about 5:10 p.m. The road was reopened a few minutes later.

Police said someone had called in the bomb threat.

A previous version of this story incorrectly said the hotel was evacuated.
