STOCKHOLM, Sweden: Denmark’s second-largest airport reopened late Saturday after a man was arrested on suspicion of forcing an evacuation with a bomb threat, police said.
During a raid at Billund Airport in central Denmark, police arrested a man in his 30s and removed an object that “may contain explosives”.
Chemical testing will be done to confirm.
Danish police said in a statement that the man was arrested after he notified the airport police that the object he threw contained explosives.
The airport reopened at 7 p.m. (0500 GMT), but several flights were canceled or delayed during the shutdown.
Police are also investigating whether the bomb threat is linked to the bombing of an ATM in Billund around 4am on Saturday.
Billund Airport is located near the headquarters of the Lego toy brick manufacturer and the Legoland theme park.
