The finding of three objects believed to be bombs caused general alarm in Santa Beatriz, Lima yesterday.
Police cordoned off the area and specialist explosives disposal officers rushed to the scene to examine and defuse the three brick-shaped objects. The objects were transported in a secure vehicle to the police station on Av. Petit Thouars in Lince for further examination.
Officers have since qualified these events as a false alert, although it seems that the real contents of the objects remains a mystery.
