Billundin lentokenttä Tanskassa evakuoitiin pommiuhan takia, poliisi tutkii "jotain fyysistä"

Ritzau-TT

Tanskan Jyllannissa sijaitseva Billundin lentokenttä on evakuoitu pommiuhan takia, kertoo tanskalaislehti Ekstra Bladet. Sekä matkustajia että henkilökuntaa on kehotettu poistumaan ja lentoliikenne kentällä on keskeytetty. Kaakkois-Jyllannin poliisi kehotti viestipalvelu X:ssä ihmisiä pysymään poissa kentältä.

Myöhemmin julkaistussa tiedotteessa poliisi ilmoitti, että evakuointi sujui rauhallisesti ja että poliisin ja puolustusvoimien räjähdeasiantuntijat ja pommikoirat tutkivat lentokentän pommin varalta.

Kaakkois-Jyllannin poliisin apulaispoliisipäällikkö Michael Weiss kertoi tiedotustilaisuudessa poliisin tutkivan “jotain fyysistä”, joka on viety pois lentokentältä.

– On joitakin seikkoja, joiden vuoksi meidän oli suhtauduttava tähän vakavasti, mutta en voi tutkinnallisista syistä kertoa niistä, Weiss sanoi.

Weiss kertoi lisäksi, ettei pommiuhkausta ollut tehty puhelimitse, vaan se tapahtui paikan päällä lentokentällä.

Tanskan TV2 kertoi, että poliisin on nähty vievän kentältä pois miestä käsiraudoissa. Poliisi vahvisti myöhemmin ottaneensa yhden miehen kiinni liittyen pommiuhkaukseen. Poliisi kertoi myös tutkivansa, onko pommiuhkauksella yhteyttä lauantain vastaisena yönä tapahtuneeseen pankkiautomaatin räjäytykseen.

Billundin lentokenttä on Kööpenhaminan Kastrupin jälkeen Tanskan toiseksi suurin ja sijaitsee lähellä huvipuisto Legolandia. Kentän kautta matkusti viime vuonna liki neljä miljoonaa ihmistä.

Evakuoinnin odotettiin johtavan lentoliikenteen useiden tuntien myöhästyksiin. Poliisin mukaan tässä vaiheessa ei ole tietoa, milloin lentoliikenne voi palautua normaaliksi.
