Gauteng police have confirmed that the device left outside of a jewellery store in Eastgate Mall in Johannesburg yesterday was not a bomb.
Gauteng police chief Mzwandile Petros says that the box was found to contain electrical wires.
He says police detonated the box because it was protocol when dealing with a suspicious device.
Petros believes that the person who left it there had intended to rob the store.
The mall was evacuated yesterday after police said that the box contained a bomb.
The public was led to believe that the bomb squad had disabled the device.
No arrests have been made yet.
