Major police operation and road closures in Malaga city centre due to false alarm over suspicious suitcase
The National Police activated the precautionary protocol and coordinated an operation with the Tedax bomb disposal unit at the junction of Calle Córdoba and Avenida Manuel Agustín Heredia
The appearance of a suspicious suitcase on the street prompted the deployment of a large police operation in Malaga city centre on Tuesday. In the ... end, it turned out to be a false alarm: the suitcase did not contain any dangerous materials.
The trolley bag was discovered at the junction of Calle Córdoba and Avenida Manuel Agustín Heredia. The police cordoned off the area, restricted traffic and collaborated with the Tedax explosive ordnance disposal unit, who inspected the suitcase.
Although the scale of the operation and the closure of the roads caused some concern among passersby, the security forces urged people to remain calm, as they suspected it could be a false alarm.
The operation led to the closure of Calle Salitre, Paseo de los Curas, Muelle Heredia, Avenida José María Garnica and Callejones del Perchel. In addition, the Port Authority and the UNIA headquarters were evacuated.
Since the special units verified the contents of the suitcase at 2.05pm, traffic has slowly been returning to normal.
