## Police Mobilise After Midnight Threat

Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to a bomb threat at the Barnasud shopping centre in Gavà during the early hours of Sunday, 30 August 2026\. The alert followed anonymous calls received after midnight, warning that an explosive device would detonate at the site. According to reporting by Metrópoli and confirmed by *La Vanguardia*, the local police forces in Montcada i Reixac and Mollerussa were among the first to receive the threats. The warning was relayed to other agencies, including the National Police and the Guardia Urbana of Cornellà de Llobregat.

## Joint Patrols Confirm False Alarm

Units from the Mossos d'Esquadra, Gavà Local Police, and the Civil Guard conducted a full inspection of the premises. Officers searched the commercial complex to rule out any actual danger.

> The checks carried out by officers determined there was no explosive device present.

Authorities confirmed the incident was a false alarm. No injuries or damages were reported, and all operations concluded without further incident.

Residents in the area reported seeing increased police presence between 00:30 and 04:00, though the shopping centre remained closed during the sweep. Regular operations resumed later on Sunday morning.
