Three reportedly suspicious people who approached the Toledo Muslim Community Center Tuesday afternoon were travelers who needed to use the building's restroom, police said.

The center at 5045 W. Sylvania Rd. went into lockdown following the call to police at 2:39 p.m. Witnesses inside the center saw two men and one woman, who wore camouflage clothing and carried backpacks, said Toledo police Lt. Joe Heffernan.

Sylvania Township Police detained the three at the intersection of Spring Mill Court and Corey Road shortly after Toledo police were called to the scene, Lieutenant Heffernan said.

Those three, whose names police did not release, were questioned and released without being arrested, he said.

Lieutenant Heffernan said people across the country are being “hypervigilant” following recent attacks and the center went under lockdown following the perceived threat.

K-9 units and police searched inside the building and around the property. No injuries were reported.
