“Vigilance urged over Tesco threat”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Police have urged shoppers to be “vigilant at all times” after threats forced 14 Tesco stores to shut.
Police closed the shops across the UK on Saturday afternoon but they reopened for normal trading on Sunday.
Hertfordshire Police, which is leading the investigation, said each store had been searched and given the all-clear.
“There is still no reason to believe that the incidents are linked to extremism of any kind,” the constabulary added.
One line of inquiry is of a possible financial motive behind the threats.
The supermarket giant is understood to have lost millions of pounds in sales as the 14 stores were forced to shut.
Hertfordshire Police said the stores were closed on Saturday as a precaution and no-one had been hurt.
Tesco is continuing to work closely with police, it added.”
