The foreign lettering on a soft drink can - thought to include the word "bomb" - was responsible for an Air Mauritius plane with nearly 200 people on board returning to Melbourne airport yesterday.
Police have now revealed that the lettering had been
misinterpreted by airline staff.
Cabin crew discovered the can of drink at the rear of the
plane about an hour into the flight to Mauritius via Perth.
Police initially said the word "bomb"" was
written on paper taped to the can.
However, a Victoria Police spokeswoman today said no
offence had been detected "due to an initial misinterpretation of foreign
lettering on the print of the can".
She said the word was printed on the can itself and not
handwritten, as originally reported by police.
No further explanation was offered, although police
confirmed no explosives were found in the can or on the plane, and no threat
was intended.
Police said the captain of the aircraft acted
appropriately with the safety of those on board as a priority.
