The Apple retail store located on George Street in Sydney, Australia (http://www.apple.com/au/retail/sydney/) was closed for a brief period of time today due to "a police operation (http://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/news/police-operation-at-apple-store-on-george-street-in-sydney/news-story/2ffcbb91f98a759dc88dc2ed88077c93)," although the exact reasoning behind the closure remains unclear. Some customers evacuated from the store tweeted claims of hearing employees discussing a "bomb threat (https://twitter.com/drwarwick/status/832417367049138177)," while workers in nearby buildings are referencing some kind of workplace accident responsible for the closure (via Gizmodo Australia (https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2017/02/police-evacuate-sydneys-apple-store/)).

The only information confirmed by the local police force referenced "a police operation" that was ongoing on the corner of King and George streets between 1:36 PM and 1:50 PM local time today. A police dog was also seen entering the Apple Store, but once it left and the police appeared finished at the scene at around 2:24 PM, a line was allowed to queue back on the street for re-entry into the store.
Shoppers were evacuated from the store as around six police cars appeared at the building in the city?s CBD. ******rs and a police dog were seen entering the store as a crowd gathered outside.
Ashley, one of those evacuated, tweeted that he ?heard store employees talking about a bomb threat, **t a drill? and police were ?very firm in telling people to leave immediately.? Since customers have **w been allowed to re-enter the location (https://twitter.com/GizmodoAU/status/832422999856914432), it appears that the ******rs didn't find anything of potential harm in the store.
