Update: Westways declared safe after bomb threats
Threat was also made last night.
Westways Shopping Centre has been declared safe a short while ago.
This comes after the centre, on the corner of Ouklip and Wilgerood Roads, had to be evacuated after receiving bomb threats at about 7.30am this morning.
It is alleged that the person who made the threats phoned more than one business to tell them that a bomb had been planted at the Absa ATM next to Woolworths. The bomb squad and K9 unit arrived at about 9.15am to search the premises as well as the ATM.
