Tensions were high at Robina this afternoon after a suspicious device was found near a carpark at the Von Bibra dealership – the second to be found in the area in two weeks.
An emergency situation was declared, people were told to stay back and businesses were evacuated.
The bomb squad was called in and managed to safely detonate the device.
“As with all of these suspicious devices we have to treat them in a way that they could be dangerous.”
Police say it’s too early to tell if today’s incident is linked to the pipe bomb discovered a fortnight ago.
