Brno, Jan 28 (BD) – Last night police officers attended a supermarket in Brno-Komárov, where a travel suitcase had been left unattended and unclaimed, raising alarm among staff, who called the police.
Officers called in the bomb squad and evacuated the supermarket as a precaution, as well as a dormitory lodgings close by.
Upon inspecting the suitcase, the specialists found no sign of explosives.
However, in evacuating the dormitory, police unexpectedly identified a wanted fugitive, who had been subject to an arrest warrant and on the run from Czech police for over a year. The man was arrested.
