"Routine check"
Europark in Salzburg evacuated due to police operation
The Europark shopping center in Salzburg was evacuated by the police on Monday evening shortly before it was due to close. As the police confirmed in the evening, the reason was a "dangerous threat" against the shopping center.
All customers and employees had to leave the building around 20 minutes before closing time at 7.30 pm. The underground car park was also evacuated. The police confirmed a routine check to the "Krone" newspaper. The officers cordoned off the area in Salzburg-Taxham.
The all-clear was given late in the evening. The shopping center had been searched for suspicious objects and nothing had been found. At around 9.30 p.m., the police lifted all closures again. Last week, there were bomb threats against several Austrian railroad stations. Whether the threat against Europark followed a similar pattern was not disclosed by the police for tactical reasons.
