Retirement home evacuated
Large-scale police operation: several streets evacuated
The police issued a major alert on Wednesday morning in the Lower Austrian town of Ternitz: several special units were on site and evacuated a large area, according to police spokesman Johann Baumschlager. According to the latest information, the operation was connected to an arrest in the morning hours.
Several houses were evacuated and several roads were closed: The town in the district of Neunkirchen was in a state of emergency for hours!
Police confirm connection with arrest
"The operation is currently in full swing", explained police spokesman Johann Baumschlager in an interview with the "Krone" newspaper this morning. The operation was in connection with an arrest in the early hours of the morning. The Cobra task force was on the scene and house searches and seizures were underway.
"Follow instructions exactly now"
"It is important that the population now follows the instructions of the police exactly", emphasized Baumschlager on the seriousness of the situation. A retirement home and several terraced houses have been evacuated. The crime scene team has also started work on site.
Town hall open for evacuees
At least three buildings were affected, explained Mayor Christian Samwald (SPÖ). The town hall had been opened to provide people with food and drink. Around ten to 20 people gathered there in the morning hours. "But most of them went to relatives and friends," says Samwald, assessing the situation.
The grid operator Netz NÖ also confirmed an operation in which an arrest was made in the early hours of the morning. It sometimes happens that electricity or gas has to be turned off in the course of official action by the police. Later, there had been another operation at a road construction site where construction workers had turned off a gas pipe. However, this had already been repaired. "We are not currently deployed there," said a spokesperson for Netz NÖ.
The police would only provide details once the operation was over, explained spokesman Baumschlager.
