An Apple Store in Birmingham was evacuated earlier today, after employees alerted the police about what appeared to be a bomb. A suspicious package was delivered to the Apple store, and its employees thought that there was a bomb inside, so they decided to alert the police, and the customers inside were evacuated very quickly.
We are talking about the Apple Store in New Street, the police evacuating the city and creating a security cordon around the store to protect the people who came to shop. We are talking about an area frequented by many people who come to shop, the police surrounding it while the engineers checked the package that arrived at the Apple store.
Also, the circulation of the subway in Birmingham was affected by this action of the police, but in the end everything turned out to be just a simple false alarm. The respective package did not contain a bomb, but the police did not disclose its contents, but it probably had an unusual appearance that led Apple employees to the conclusion that there was a bomb inside.
Considering the Berlin attack of the past few days, there is a possibility that Apple employees may have exaggerated a little when they saw the package delivered to the store. However, the British police did their duty, but we can expect to see similar scenes in the future, considering the tension in Europe regarding terrorist attacks.
"Police have cordoned off a small section of New Street in Birmingham city center as a precaution following reports that a suspicious package was handed in to the Apple store. The store has been evacuated as a precaution while specialist officers examine the package."
