Jack W Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Quote A city centre department store was evacuated when a faulty security tag making a loud ticking sound was mistaken for a bomb. An employee at John Lewis in Liverpool raised the alarm after finding the electronic tag at 10:00 BST. A police spokesman said: "A staff member wrapped and taped the tag up to muffle the noise but had not notified colleagues what it was or why it was there." The store has since reopened. "The object has been found to be an electronic security tag which had been malfunctioning and emitting a loud ticking sound," Merseyside Police said.
