A bank branch in Santa Maria de Lamas, in the municipality of Santa Maria da Feira, was evacuated this Wednesday, March 11, due to a bomb threat, which also resulted in road closures, according to a local source and the financial institution involved. The incident occurred around 12:30 at a Millennium BCP branch, which confirmed the event, stated it is cooperating with authorities, and deferred further details. The bank activated security protocols, leading the GNR—whose local barracks are less than a kilometre away—to evacuate the bank building, a barbershop, and adjacent shops, while also closing surrounding streets to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. A customer from the evacuated barbershop told Lusa, 'The GNR told us that a man wearing a beanie and glasses entered the bank, left a bag there, said it contained explosives, and left empty-handed.' When contacted, the Lamas GNR did not answer, and the Aveiro GNR command only confirmed that several officers were deployed to the scene but provided no further information.
