POLICE rushed to a supermarket in Winchester after reports of staff being threatened by a man.
Officers were called to the Tesco store in Easton Lane, Winnall, at around 10pm on Monday.
A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of making a bomb hoax (communicating false information and a public order offence).
He was given a conditional caution for the public order offence, with a condition to write a letter of apology to the store. He was released with no further action for the bomb hoax offence.
A spokesman for Hampshire Constabulary said: “The incident has been treated as an isolated one with no wider risk to the store or local community.”
