So this was a news article from the town near me:


Employees at all stores in the Ropewalk Shopping Centre have been told to leave the building and have congregated outside the Salvation Army building.

Unconfirmed reports suggest a green box was placed on a litter bin outside the front of the shopping centre in Queens Road.

It contained a note which had religious phrases and the word 'Zap'.



-----Update---

It was not a bomb, just strange.
