Discovered in the engine compartment
Bomb alert in Villach: “Suspicious object”
Explosive emergency call on Monday evening in the Carinthian town of Drau: a suspicious object was discovered in the engine compartment of a vehicle in Maria Gailer Straße in Villach. The entire area was evacuated.
A "suspicious object" was discovered in the engine compartment of a vehicle at the ÖAMTC base. All emergency services were immediately alerted, the surrounding roads were closed off and nearby stores and restaurants were evacuated. In addition to countless police officers, rescue teams were also on the scene within minutes.
"Preventive routine measures" - as the "Krone" was told. Further information was still scarce at the time. Even though the so-called exclusion zone was tightened at around 8.30 p.m. and the nearby cinema and other pubs were allowed to reopen, there was still no sign of the all-clear at this point.
"No danger"
The car was still shielded in the ÖAMTC workshop - they were waiting for the experts from the explosives experts (SKO) to arrive from Graz. They had to "fight" with the snow on the Pack. After their arrival, however, the all-clear was quickly given: it was not explosives, there was no danger. The object was removed and secured. Further investigations are underway.
