Bomb threats reported at Shaw’s supermarkets in Canton, 3 New Hampshire locations
Local News
None of the threats was determined to be credible, but they are all currently under investigation, according to authorities.
Bomb threats reported at Shaw’s grocery stores in Massachusetts and New Hampshire on Wednesday are under investigation, authorities said.
Canton police responded to the Shaw’s in Cobb Corner at 95 Washington St. after a reported bomb threat Wednesday, the department wrote in a Facebook post. The department stated that other Shaw’s locations had received threats and asked the public to avoid the area as officers investigated.
By 1:50 p.m., the scene was clear, according to the post.
Threats were also reported at three New Hampshire locations, including in Hooksett, North Hampton, and Gilford.
Hooksett police responded to a similar bomb threat just after noon Wednesday at a Shaw’s in the Hooksett Village Shops, according to a Facebook post. The Hooksett Fire Department and the New Hampshire State Police bomb squad were also on the scene.
After a sweep of the area, the threat was determined to not be credible, and the store was reopened to the public by 1 p.m., Hooksett police said.
North Hampton police investigated another bomb threat at a Shaw’s on Lafayette Road, and the store was similarly evacuated, WMUR reported. Police told WMUR they didn’t think the threat was credible, but they are still investigating.
A bomb threat was also called into a Shaw’s in Gilford, according to WMUR. That threat is also believed to be a hoax.
The reported bomb threats all remain under investigation.

Join us for a community conversation exploring how land conservation supports thriving communities, healthy ecosystems, and local economies. Recent research from Maine highlights the growing economic value of conserved lands — from supporting recreation, forestry, agriculture, and tourism to protecting clean water, storing carbon, and strengthening climate resilience. The findings reveal something important: protecting natural landscapes is not only good for the environment, but also for the people and communities that depend on them.
Together, we’ll explore what this research means both regionally and here at home. How do conserved lands shape our quality of life, local economy, and sense of place? How can communities balance growth, conservation, and long-term sustainability? And what role can each of us play in protecting the landscapes that support both nature and people?
At each “Let’s Talk Nature” gathering, we share a short article in advance and come together for an informal, welcoming discussion. Each session stands on its own, and everyone is welcome. No expertise needed. Bring your curiosity and a willingness to listen and share. Drinks and cookies provided.
