Power surge could have triggered alarm.
Emergency services were called to a Honiton supermarket earlier today after the store’s alarm went off.
It is understood by the Midweek Herald that the alarm could have been triggered by a power surge.
Sergeant Martin Burrow said the incident was a false alarm.
Reports that a suspect package had been found at the store are untrue, it has been confirmed.
