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, it appears that the ******rs didn't find anything of potential harm in the store.
