Dearborn Heights police are investigating threats made against a mosque located in the city after someone called the Islamic Institute of America.
Police have since identified a person of interest from out of state who allegedly made calls to the mosque.
An individual who doesn't live in our community called here to the mosque and made some threats about maybe burning down the city of Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, a lot of Islamophobia threats that were on audio recording," said Dearborn Heights Police chief Ahmed Haidar.
