policia

ROADS in Marbella have re-opened following a bomb hoax this morning.

It comes after an anonymous caller told police there was an explosive device in a bank on calle Ricardo Soriano.

Dozens of Policia Nacional agents swarmed to the scene and set up a 100m safe zone around the site.

All employees and customers were evacuated as nearby roads were closed off.

A bomb squad arrived with a sniffer dog trained to detect explosive devices.

Pedestrians were advised to stay away as the canine searched for any signs of a bomb.

Town hall sources have confirmed nothing was found.
