The Legonian Police has stepped up security measures in Legotown, the capital city of Legonia.

More police officers are deployed to patrol the streets, and crash barriers are placed in the city centre.

The higher security measures are taken after the Legonian security intelligence agency warned that foreign agents may seek to conduct attack on civilian areas in Legotown.

The Legonian Royal Police Force (RPF) began deploying armed police officers at the city centre two days ago. Since this morning, construction workers have completed installing crash barriers at the city square, the heart of Legotown.

"Members of the public are advised to call the police if they see any suspicious person or object", said a police spokesman.

According to sources in the Legonian Defence Ministry, Legonian intelligence came across information that Malatian agents are deployed across the Bricks region to conduct attacks on civilian infrastructures.

"The purpose of these attacks is to cause disorder and panic in the Bricks region", said the source.

The Malatian Embassy in Legotown has condemned the report. The Malatian Ambassador to Legonia accused Legonian media of propagating fake news. 

"Malatia is a peace-loving nation, and we condemn news that portray us as war-mongers", said the Ambassador in a press conference held at the embassy.
