Suspicious package in police station forces Breda evacuation

The police station on Chasseveld in Breda had to be evacuated around 10:00 this morning after the discovery of a suspicious package.

The surrounding buildings, including a gym and a ABN Amro bank, were also evacuated. The area around the police station was closed off and traffic redirected. https://twitter.com/NaaktgeborenJ/status/573782273100742656 https://twitter.com/NaaktgeborenJ/status/573786125854248960 At around 11:30 a.m a special explosives dog entered the police station with the bomb squad.
