Misfortunes never come solar and when there is a terrorist attack like the one that happened this past Monday in a Christmas market in Berlin, it alerts the authorities and any movement or object susceptible to a double interpretation awakens the alert of both citizens and the Security forces. The Birmingham Apple Store was evacuated yesterday morning shortly after employees found a package that had been delivered to the store and that may contain an explosive. This Apple Store occupies the former bank facilities that were built in 1879.
Both the visitors to the shop and the rest of the employees were quickly evicted from the store and the police proceeded to cordon off a section of the commercial area where this Apple Store is located. In addition, the trains that also saw their activity paralyzed due to the proximity to this store. According to the West Midlands Police Chief:
The store has been evacuated as a precautionary measure, while specialized agents examined the suspicious package.
Once the authorities inspected it and verified that it did not contain any explosive device inside, Apple reopened its doors with total normality, that if, the scare to both employees and visitors will not be taken away by anyone in a while . Is It is not the first time that Apple has seen one of its Apple Stores threatened by a bomb warning or for a suspicious package. Last December, the Apple Store in Ginza, in Tokyo was evicted for the same reason, forcing the company to have to cancel a planned act at the facilities. Earlier this year, Apple was forced to evict 4.000 employees from its Cork headquarters after receiving a phone call reporting a bomb advisory.
