Abandoned suitcase sparks evacuation on Ibiza
Responsible for this content: Frank Menze
An abandoned suitcase on Ibiza: police evacuate residents near a crossroads in Sant Antoni de Portmany and close roads across several blocks on 10 November. The hand suitcase is found where Soledad and Valencia streets meet. Local police respond after a call from the Guardia Civil, the town council says.
Five local police patrols join the operation — every patrol on duty that morning. The Guardia Civil sends TEDAX bomb-disposal specialists and a dog team trained to detect explosives. Officers cordon off the area while they check the suitcase.
The Guardia Civil finds no explosive device and rules out a bomb threat. With the risk to the public ruled out, the operation ends.
