RDU Airport reopens parking deck after attempted carjacking, officials say
A parking deck at Raleigh-Durham International Airport has re-opened after officials responded to a report of an attempted carjacking Tuesday evening, the airport said.
The parking deck was closed for nearly two hours after law enforcement with the RDU Airport Authority responded to a call in the parking garage shortly before 5 p.m., the airport said in a statement.
No one was injured, and no suspects were identified or detained, airport officials said. The garage was cleared for reopening around 7 p.m., airport officials said.
Passengers were told to stay inside the terminals, and travelers arriving at the airport were redirected to a nearby parking lot, during the search.
“Travelers arriving to or departing the airport may now use the parking garage,” the airport said in a tweet shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday. “All entry and exit lanes are now open.”
