McDonald’s, Costa Coffee, KFC, Pizza Hut, Harvester and Toby Carvery and many others were all evacuated and Wiltshire Police closed off the area from the A303 slip-road.
At the time, Wiltshire Police said: “We are currently dealing with an incident at Solstice Park – we received a call reporting a suspicious phone call to a premises at the location.
“As a precaution, a number of the businesses at the park have evacuated and a cordon is in place. We advise that you avoid the area until further notice.”
