The centre said its management teams were made aware of an alleged suspicious incident that occurred in the centre.
“The security teams have reviewed all security footage and there is no evidence from the footage to pursue the case further,” the mall said. “The safety and security of our shoppers and tenants is our highest priority and we urge parents and shoppers to always be vigilant no matter where they are, at all times.
