The Whitgift Centre has reopened following its closure amid a bomb threat at boots.
The centre was cordoned off around the store at about 3.45pm and evacuated after Boots received the threat this afternoon.
Police attended as Boots was shut for about 20 minutes.
A Whitgift Centre spokesman said: "Boots received a bomb threat and following consultation with the Police the Whitgift Centre put into place its relevant procedures and was partially evacuated.
"This threat was found to be malicious and the Centre fully re-opened 20 minutes later."
