A police operation that evacuated the Sydney Opera House was sparked by "information on social media". | |
Police ran operations at the Opera House and in the beachside suburb of Manly on Thursday, but did not provide details on the nature of the threat. | |
Helicopter shots showed the usually crowded hub completely deserted and afternoon concerts were cancelled. | |
Police issued a release at 15:30 AEST (04:30GMT) saying that both operations had concluded. | |
The operation resulted in the cancellation of one ferry service between Manly and Circular Quay. |
