A report of a bomb ended in a false alarm in Yonkers Tuesday evening.
Police say they got a call from someone using a distorted voice, claiming there was a bomb on Orchard Street not far from Myrtle Street.
When police got there, there were discrepancies between what was said on the call and what was actually at the address.
